[news.eclipse.tools.uml2] What do YOU want UML to be?

["Kenn Hussey" <khussey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A short tutorial proposal has been submitted for UML2 at EclipseCon 2007. If 
you are interested, please vote at 
http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3610! Here is the 
abstract:

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for specifying, 
visualizing, and documenting models of software systems. One of the 
strengths of the latest version of UML is that it can be customized to meet 
the needs of a given application or domain. This short tutorial will provide 
an in-depth examination of the mechanisms in UML that support such 
customizations, including profiles, language units, package merge, 
redefinition, and subsetting. These concepts will be made concrete by 
exploring various ways in which the UML2 UML subcomponent of the MDT project 
(Eclipse's implementation of the UML standard) can be extended. Each of 
these techniques will be demonstrated and their relative advantages and 
disadvantages will be discussed.
