    Class diagram MDA

    paucarre

      Have you evaluated Taylor MDA as a project to add to JBoss Tools?
      The idea is fantastic: MDA+SEAM+EJB+JPA in a class diagram, plus Use Case diagrams
      The problem is that it is vey buggy and lacks a lot of features.
      The link is:

          I definitely like the idea of Taylor , it is one of the only examples of MDA that I find relevant.

          I've actually talked and met with John a couple of times about Taylor - been a while though.

          The biggest issue back then was that the generate projects, code and structure is very different from what we do in Seam (including the actual implementation of it duplicates a lot of the things we do in JBoss tools).

          Thus if it would be something to integrate with JBoss Tools someone would need to step up and do the work...

                You really convinced me with your last post :) .
                I'll try to code something in my free time (maybe one hour a day :( ).
                I have been searching and I think that the best way to do this is by using Graphical Modelling Framework from Eclipse.
                Do you use this framework?
                Additionally, do you use any custom framework or utilities library?
                What kind of changes would you like to make taking Taylor as model?
