Re: [UML Forum] 3D-Model Visualization
I don't know of any offhand, but I haven't been paying much attention
since retiring.
However, I am curious why you want such a tool. I can see how 3D
rendering would be kind of neat and it could provide a better
comprehension of, say, a Component Diagram describing a complex system's
3D-Model Visualization
I'm searching for a UML tool that can comprehensively 3D visualize a big
(class) diagram.
Something like a crossover between Google Sketchup and a proper modelling
tool - or a tool which uses an XMI export as a base for its 3D
visualization.
Ideally it would provide an interactive presentation mode (add layers,

Miro's Quantum Framework. The mappings are straight forward especially if
you limit the UML syntax to the Executable UML profile.

Re: [UML Forum] state pattern in UML
Not really. The commercial translation transformation engines are pricey
because the venders have to recover a large investment (optimization is
a much tougher problem than a 3GL compiler). So they tend to treat that
stuff as proprietary.
However, I can describe one way to translate object state machines that

Do you have any pointers to "good" mappings of state machines to code?

I agree. For a generator the GoF pattern does not make sense from point of view either. I offer a generator especially for the embedded domain ([link]). And the generated code is simply based on switch/case and if/else if constructs - clear, easy to understand and compact.

performed depends on the "from" state. Many transitions can be drawn, each
with it's own action attached, to a single destination state. Despite being
Re: [UML Forum] state pattern in UML
think about generating code from UML state machines. Generating state machines is very well understood and can save you really a lot of manual coding work. Good generators also perform model checks which helps to make sure your model is complete regarding principal issues e.g. init states defined, no transitions without events ...
Re: [UML Forum] state pattern in UML
Sounds fine. My only caveat is that the Mealy model (actions on
transitions) is mathematically equivalent. Thus one can have multiple,
different actions to enter the state, but since only one transition is
triggered, only one action with one set of rules and poliices is

I'll try but I really recommend you all get Lahman's book. The state action
is performed upon entry to the state. Thus, there can be only one action
and it must always be the same. If a different action is needed then, by
Re: [UML Forum] state pattern in UML
The short answer is: exactly the same way you would show any other
object collaborations.
The parent State class defines a suite of actions that each subclass
implements differently. Those actions are invoked in collaboration just
like any other object's actions in an SD. One swimlane is the object

Traceability on Eclipse for UML
Upcoming Events
With Juno's arriving to the end of the release cycle Eclipse Day's are popping up everywhere in the world.
If you are not too far from France, you should consider joining us next week for Eclipse Day Toulouse

Great content, very low price (20€) and Toulouse is so sunny it can only be nice !
I will be there presenting Eclipse Modeling. A 101 session leading you to the jungle of one of the most diverse top level project in Eclipse, describing some of the main components and how you can use them in your day to day work.
Register now, this event takes place next week!
It is said the west of France is less sunny but I'm pretty sure its a myth spread by the Bretons frighten tourists. The 2012 breizhcamp will be the occasion to confirm my belief.This is a Java/Webapps event during two days with more than 50 speakers ! I will be representing Eclipse there along with Stéphane. We will give an Acceleo tutorial.
And here is the Breizh Camp trailer :
The EclipseCon Europe call for paper is out ! You should consider to start preparing your submission. The conference tracks are :- Eclipse Technology.
- Building Industry Solutions.
- Community and Collaboration.
- OSGi.
- Other Cool Stuff.
Lets make this the best EclipseCon ever!
