ant script |

Andromda distribution is organized for
Maven builds. To use the it with ant, create a folder "xml.zips.uml2"
inside andromda-bin-3.2/andromda. Copy here, all the xml.zip files from
the following location:
andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/org/andromda/profiles/uml2/andromda-profile/3.2/andromda-profile-3.2.xml.zip
andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/org/andromda/profiles/uml2/andromda-profile-datatype/3.2/andromda-profile-datatype-3.2.xml.zip
andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/org/andromda/profiles/uml2/andromda-profile-meta/3.2/andromda-profile-meta-3.2.xml.zip
andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/org/andromda/profiles/uml2/andromda-profile-persistence/3.2/andromda-profile-persistence-3.2.xml.zip
andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/org/andromda/profiles/uml2/andromda-profile-presentation/3.2/andromda-profile-presentation-3.2.xml.zip

| Development |
|
Open Magicdraw 12.0 or 11.6 and load the
modules andromda-profile-3.2.xml.zip and
andromda-profile-datatype-3.2.xml.zip
Draw the class diagram for entities/value object/services. For example I
have drawn a simple class diagram for value objects:
Save the magicdraw project as .xml file. By default
magicdraw saves the project as mdzip file.
Click on File->Export->EMF-UML2 and point to a working
directory. I used a directory names "src". It would generate files with
extension "uml2". Leave the file with your project name and move module
specific uml2 files in Andromda/andromda-bin-3.2/andromda/xml.zips.uml2. |
| Build |
|
Create andromda.xml file. Here is a
sample file using java cartridge. Add the cartridges you need.
Create a build file using the example ant file here. |
| Evolve |
Evolve your build file and AndroMDA configuration files
based on the cartridge reference document at AndroMDA:
http://galaxy.andromda.org/docs/andromda-cartridges/index.html and
How-To guides at
http://galaxy.andromda.org/docs/howto-guides.html For issues with
current cartridges and tips to customize the cartridges refer to
support forum.
Wish you all the best for your model driven development. |
