Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that its
previously proprietary front-end UML editor has moved into the open
source domain. Accessible for free download from xtUML.org, this
editor was formerly part of the company’s powerful BridgePoint™
xtUML environment. Providing a free editor and releasing the editor
code as an open source software project (which is occurring over
the course of the next month) is designed to encourage the
advancement of model-driven development within the system design
community.
“The xtUML editor is one of the best tools available for
creating Executable UML models. It makes development work much
easier than other UML tools in the market,” remarked Lee
Riemenschneider, chief scientist at frogooa, a software development
consultancy specializing in Executable UML.
Models are often used in systems engineering for documenting or
communicating design intent. A model-driven development flow goes
one step further, leveraging the model from its first incarnation
as a conceptual model, through its refinement as a detailed design
representation, and finally to its automated implementation for the
target platform. A fundamental principle of model-driven
development is that an application should be developed and verified
independent of its implementation target, for maximum productivity,
implementation flexibility, and reuse.
Creating platform-independent models allows the user to focus on
solving the application problem without having to worry about the
implementation details. Representing systems at a higher level of
abstraction allows designs to be captured and verified quickly,
concisely, and efficiently. The xtUML editor is a gateway to
platform-independent modeling and the starting point for a
model-driven development methodology.
UML is a general-purpose modeling language, typically used to
create abstract models of software-intensive systems. xtUML adds
execution and translation capabilities, expanding the value of the
UML language from a static picture drawing facility into a
full-fledged solution for model-driven development.
The code available from xtUML.org includes an xtUML meta-model,
an xtUML model of the BridgePoint environment, and the Java source
that interfaces with the Eclipse environment, upon which the
BridgePoint environment is built. The xtUML editor provides
intelligent UML modeling, which ensures syntactic correctness and
semantic consistency.
