Then we can call it "representation", "view" or "notation". I like UML 
as a view for my code (I have created one Java -> UML transformation 
based on JDT myself), but can we call it modelling? IMHO there should be 
some changes in abstraction level to call it modelling.

I'm just a student, but I did used UML and code generation to develop 
project easier, faster, make it more maintainable and allow iterative 
development. Actually iterative development was really hard without MDD. 
I developed a model, then basic transformation, the transformation and 
model were changing along with better understanding of problem, as well 
as technologies I have used. For me it was "agile" enough.
