UML 2.0
specifications
|
Oct
5, 2003 |
With the upcoming UML 2.0 specifications due from the OMG, some time
ago it was felt that the continuing development of Dachshund for UML
1.4 was perhaps a bit of a waste of effort: by the time Dachshund would
at least be useful, UML 1.x would be 'last years standard'.
Not all the UML and MOF 2 specifications have been finalized yet,
so don't expect much 'visible' activity on this project for a while:
behind the 'scenes' though there is certainly much scratching of heads:
1 in England and 2 in Australia!

| Major
Development Push |
Sept 04,

Dave and Greg from Adelaide in South Australia have been doing lots of
work to get a basic working tool. Dave has restructured the code
generator, created a simple interface into the model (called to
reflective interface) and implemented a diagramming interface (ripped
off from the ArgoUML boys). And many late nights reading the OMG UML
1.3 tome.
Greg has been reading up on Python
embedding and extending, and incorporated a Python interpreter into the
tool to allow local curtomisation and extension to be done in the
Python language.
We are working toward a release of
the tool incorporating the basic document and diagramming functionality
to give everyone a taste of where we are headed.

Things have been pretty quiet on the surface, but we've been hacking
like angry beavers in our spare time. Dachshund is starting to come
together, those lengthy design discussions were worth it :^)
Dachshund is not suitable for users
(yet) but developers should check out what's in CVS and possibly get
involved. An official developers release is planned for the very near
future. Email daveb_AT_acres_NOSPAM_com_au if you have problems
building the pup, and stay tuned for more...

| New CVS Module

Dachshund development will continue in the CVS module named
"dachshund2". Dachshund has been completely redesigned and
restructured, hence a clean break from the previous (now dead) module
"dachshund". |

I finally got around to doing a website for this project. Two hours ago
I didn't know what a Cascading Style Sheet was... You are looking at
the result. It is still under construction, so stay tuned.
The wiener dog logo is just to get us
going, just a few brush strokes in The GIMP. Hopefully we can find
something better soon.
