omondo is really a great tool, but slider is
looking for a free tool.
the free version of omondo only exists for
eclipse 2.1 and the
free edition for eclipse 3.0 will come end of the
year or later.
I like it to work with omondo and I use the
enterprise betas.
I know they are working hard, but I think they
have much work
to do to make all stable and work 'really'
together. the emf-modelling
is not the same base as the uml-modelling and the
database-part
is the next thing what works different and is not
integrated.
some weeks I had a very good feeling - I tested
the emf-part hardly,
spent many hours (or better days ;-) to reproduce
bugs and report
them. but the last 3 weeks I get no answers from
my mails to the
developers :-(
on the other side 1900 ? are much money for a
small ISV and using
omondo enterprise then my project depends from
omondo (and the
source code is not open)
but they have the only inside-eclipse-usable emf
modeller and the
other product (uml-modelling) with live bi-direct
coding/modelling
is really great.
argo uml is no solution for me, because the GUI
is not the best ;-)
poseidon and magicdraw are nice tools, but they
work separated
from eclipse and have no easy
emf-support.
I dont know any other tool which could work for
emf and uml-modelling
inside eclipse, so I think I'll give omondo a
try.

Since
IBM owns Rational, I can use it for free, so I use Rose 98. I don't
have an opinion on which free tool is best. I know lots of folks use
Omonodo and seem to like it...

Hey Ed, are Argo and Argo2Ecore your choice
of free UML tool? I was really hoping there was something better than
Argo. Eike, thanks for
all your replies!

i wonder if it was hard to implement an XMI iport to EMF?
sometimes i work with TogetherControlCenter, which
also can
only export to various XMI formats (and costs
around 6000
otherwise unneeded dollars ;-))
