Re: [modeling-pmc] Ed Willinks remark regarding UML2 Tools
|
Why do you say "not a useable tooling"? Did you test them?
The general impression I've been given by folks using it is that it's
incomplete and not product quality. It's also been unsupported for
years, so the community is redirected to use Papyrus for the purpose
of graphical UML editing...
When preparing slides for presentations I find the general appearance of
UML2 Tools diagrams more pleasing than Papyrus diagrams. Both tools were
useable.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
But UML2 Tools broke in Juno since it was not rebuilt to accommodate the
MDT/UML2 major version change (despite a couple of direct requests from
myself to the most prominent committer).
UML2 Tools is therefore no longer useable.
Understood. We will try to care about it as soon as possible.
As you know, with UML 2.7 (or 2.6?) the UML metamodel will be largely
simplified, and UML2 tools may as well wait until then to regenerate
everything.
Until then, GMF Tooling may just try to be as good as possible for all
its users, including Papyrus.
As mentioned, the purpoose of GMF Tooling (including UML2 Tools) is to
support Papyrus, not to compete with it.

Philipp
