[news.eclipse.modeling] Re: Should UML be used in an Agile Project ?

Ed,

MDD doesn't implies agile while UML with Omondo is agile. 
Agile means multiple iterations from model to code and from code to model.
Only an XMI/Ecore merge allows this iteration : 
http://www.forum-omondo.com/documentation_eclipseuml_2008/reverse/reverse/index.html#1.3_Merge_existing_model_with_modified

EMF without EclipseUML is only a model to model iteration and code 
generation. It is impossible to reverse Java code into EMF and then have 
another iteration.

I think that if Ecore and EMF want to be agile they will have to be 
associated with EclipseUML even if many would prefer only to use open 
source free tools.
