greetings all,
What tools exist to assist with the forward engineering of UML diagrams into Smalltalk code?��
I have been searching for some time but my results are swamped by tools that:
������ - reverse engineer Smalltalk code into UML diagrams
For example to draw UML of the Url hierarchy you may download the Moose environment (http://www.moosetechnology.org/) and evaluate
| view | view := MOViewRenderer new. view shape: UMLClassDiagram new umlShape. view interaction popupText. view nodes: Url withAllSubclasses asArray. view shape: (MOArrowedOrthoVerticalLineShape new). view edgesFrom: #superclass. view layout: MOTreeLayout new. view openthere are more examples in the Moose Easel window.

������ - implement new techniques moving beyond UML and MOF
I am implementing the [electric power system] Common Information Model of IEC 61970 in Smalltalk.�� This is defined as a UML Class Diagram (part of which I have attached) maintained using Enterprise Architect, which can export into XMI format.�� I hoped there might be a way to load the XMI directly into Smalltalk classes.�� Manually implementing the inheritance structure is straight forward, and I've developed a template for the aggregate relationships but an automated function would help to assure correctness, consistency and to track changes in the model.��
