Comments on: TextUML Toolkit 1.1 is out! http://abstratt.com/blog/2008/09/02/textuml-toolkit-11-is-out/ We have one obsession: stopping people from writing so much code Thu, 12 Jan 2012 07:22:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: rafael.chaves http://abstratt.com/blog/2008/09/02/textuml-toolkit-11-is-out/comment-page-1/#comment-822 rafael.chaves Wed, 13 May 2009 15:17:19 +0000 http://abstratt.com/blog/?p=113#comment-822 Note that the TextUML compiler in the TextUML Toolkit does not require a full-blown Eclipse IDE, and can be run from the command-line. Also note that on the SVN repository there is a component that allows it to be run from the command-line, something that I would like to make part of the basic distribution. At this time, though, it <a href="http://abstratt.com/blog/2009/04/05/eclipse-without-osgi-textuml-compiler-as-a-stand-alone-java-application/" rel="nofollow">still requires</a> the Eclipse OSGi runtime to run, but I am working with the EMF team (the modeling framework used in the Toolkit) to fix that. To be pedantic, note that the TextUML notation is compiled into UML models, not reversed engineered. The notation compiler could be implemented on any language, the fact that the TextUML Toolkit runs on Java is an implementation detail of that specific tool. The choice of using the Java class library and Eclipse frameworks is what enabled the development of the Toolkit by a single guy working on his spare time.

I always was faster one writing a few lines of code, and reverse engineer this to UML. But this really should be a standalone command line tool which can be installed simply be "configure && make && make install". Why do I need a JAVA Runtime and the full blown Eclipse IDE? That's like to break a butterfly on the wheel. I like the idea of TextUML. I always was faster one writing a few lines of code, and reverse engineer this to UML.

But I don't want to take that path on my own. I would like to see first the TextUML Toolkit showing it is a viable OSS project. For that to happen, it needs users, contributors in general and other active committers. Yes, that is definitely the direction I would like to be going, Chris.
