Hello all,
I have some data that I would like to get into a sequence diagram in XMI
format. What would be the best way to do this programmatically? Basicly
I'm looking an API to do the XMI.
I have read the various posts in this mailing list that relates to
sequence diagrams and have understood that it is possible to do this
with UML2. But I have not find information on how to do this
programmatically.
The closest I've found is this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.u ml2/msg00061.html
There is some talk in that thread though that he's using some old API,
so should I start with that or is there a better way? Also, what is the
"Rational Software Architects version of the UML api" and should I use
that or something else? I tried going with that, but indeed it seemed
that many of those classes / functions used did not exist anymore.
I have also read this article:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Getti ng_Started_with_UML2/article.html
It explains how to do model with UML2 programmatically, but not a
sequence diagram.
Or should I use UML2 for this at all? Are there perhaps some better ways
to do this simple task? I did try AmaterasUML:
http://amateras.sourceforge.jp/cgi-bin/fswiki_en/wiki.cgi?pa ge=AmaterasUML
what did the job great and had a simple API to create the sequence
diagram programmatically, but I felt that I could need more functions
than what it offered and I'd like to use "official" Eclipse plug-ins for
better support. What I mean with the "more functions" is that for
example I'd need to set some timing information to the diagram etc.
So, do you have any suggestions for me to look at where I could figure
out how to start this? Any replies are greatly appreciated! Thanks.
