Hi torsten do you know the work of peter to generate classes out of XMI and populate models? Because it complements your approach. stef On Wed, 01 Mar 2017 22:26:05 +0100, Torsten Bergmann <astares@gmx.de> wrote:
Hi, if you work with UML, modeling tools or model data exchange often you might know XMI - the XML Metadata Interchange format. I wrote a little package that makes it easier to work and browse data based on this format within Pharo. For instance you can open an XMI object either from a given stream or URL: (XMIFile fromURL: 'http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/UML.xmi') inspect You can also open a file XMIFile importFile Code is available on https://github.com/astares/Pharo-XMI The package includes a small GT extension allowing you to walk and dive through the XMI structure (see attached screenshot) and as the XMI nodes are unified it is easy to code some code generators or transformers in Pharo afterwards. For instance I used this package for a simple Pharo code generator based on Eclipse EMF models/diagrams. Within the code you will find some examples to browse through prominent XMI models like: - UML Spec => (XMIFile fromURL: 'http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/UML.xmi') inspect - VISUAL PARADIGM => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/staruml/XMI/master/unittest-files/VP_XMI21...') inspect - ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/staruml/XMI/master/unittest-files/EA_XMI21...') inspect - ARCHIMATE => (XMIFile fromURL: 'https://www.reflektis.com/repos/archimate-3.0.xmi) inspect Once the inspector opens you have to select the "rootNode" and then the "Hierarchy" tab. In Pharo 6 you can load "XMI" right from catalog. Hope the package is useful for others too. Bye T.
