[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Extending UML

["James Bruck" <jbruck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Saurav,

There is a tutorial with detailed explanations here : 
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/tutorials/EclipseCon2008_Tutorial_Creating_Robust_Scalable_DSL_with_UML_files/frame.html
There are also step by step guidelines.
See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2

Although I've never used UML2Tools for extending UML metamodel, it should 
work.

Cheers,
- James.
