== UMLConverter ==
+
 
+
The goal of the [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM]] to [[MDT/UML2|UML]] converter plug-in is to allow practical transformations of [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM models]] to [[MDT/UML2|UML models]].
+
 
+
=== Description ===
+
 
+
This tool aims at converting [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM models]] into [[MDT/UML2|UML models]] in order to allow integrating KDM-compliant tools (i.e. discoverers) with UML-compliant tools (e.g. modelers, model transformation tools, code generators, etc), as shown in the next figure.
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-KDM Kdm to Uml converter overview.jpg|frame|center|Overall approach of the KDM to UML converter]]
+
 
+
The converter is mainly implemented by an [[ATL|ATL model-to-model transformation]] taking as input a model conforming to the KDM meta model and producing as output a model conforming to the [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM models]] into [http://www.uml.org/ UML meta model].
+
 
+
The mapping between [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM]] and [[MDT/UML2|UML]] is described in the following table:
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-KDM kdm uml mapping table.jpg|frame|center|KDM to UML mapping]]
+
 
+
This mapping can be changed or completed easily by updating the [[ATL|ATL rules]].
+
 
+
The converter can also generate a trace file of the transformation to UML and a transformation log.
+
 
+
=== Requirements ===
+
 
+
To use the plug-in you need:
+
* JDK 1.5 or above
+
* a version of Eclipse 3.3 or above with the following set of plug-ins installed
+
** [[EMF|EMF 2.3.0 or higher]]
+
** [[ATL|ATL 2.0.0 or higher]]
+
** [[MDT/UML2|UML 2.1.0 or higher]]
+
** [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM 1.0.0 or higher]]

=== Install ===
+
 
+
==== Sources ====
+
You will find a version of this plug-in in [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/index.cgi/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.kdm.uml2converter/?root=Modeling_MODISCO SVN repository].
+
 
+
Here are installation instructions :
+
 
+
* Import the project in your workspace using a SVN client.
+
* Use the "export" menu to export this project as a plug-in (Deployable plug-ins and fragments) in your Eclipse installation. Don't forget to choose the "Package plug-ins as individual jar archives" option.
+
* Re-start your Eclipse to take this plug-in into account.
+
 
+
Connection parameters to the SVN repository: [[MoDisco/SVN]].
+
 
+
==== Runtime  ====
+
 
+
You could download an [http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/downloads/ archived site] or use [http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/modisco/updates/ the update site] of MoDisco.
+
 
+
=== User manual ===
+
 
+
The plug-in also provides the user with a contextual menu in order to create models easily. By right-clicking on a [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM model]] in the Eclipse Package Explorer view you can generate the [[MDT/UML2|UML model]], with or without traces (see next figure).

+
 
+
From a KDM source model:
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-KDM Kdm source model.jpg|frame|center|KDM model]]
+
 
+
We obtain a UML target model :
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-KDM Uml target model.jpg|frame|center|UML model]]
+
 
+
This UML model can be displayed in any modeler:
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-KDM Uml target diagram.jpg|frame|center|UML diagram]]
+
 
+
=== Current Limitations ===
+
 
+
The bidirectional UML Association elements are not identified by the rules: two complementary unidirectional UML Association elements are generated.

== KDM Source Discoverer ==
+
 
+
The goal of the KDM Source Discoverer plug-in is to allow practical extractions of KDM Source models from the file hierarchy of an application.
+
 
+
=== Details ===
+
 
+
This plug-in aims at analyzing the file system hierarchy of an application and providing a model describing the information found, conforming to KDM Source sub package. (see next Figure)
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-Kdm Source metamodel.png|frame|center|KDM Source Metamodel (from the KDM Specification v 1.1)]]
+
 
+
The Source package defines a set of meta-model elements whose purpose is to represent the physical artifacts of the
+
existing system, such as source files, images, configuration files, resource descriptions, etc.
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco_KDMSourceDiscoverer_Overview.jpg|frame|center|Overview of the KDM Source Discoverer]]
+
 
+
For an input folder, the KDM source discoverer visit each folder and file. For each file, it creates the appropriate sub class of InventoryItem using the [[Resources|Resources]] content type API. This plugin defines its own content types to properly classify file types.
+
 
+
=== Requirements ===
+
 
+
To use the plug-in you need:
+
* JDK 1.5 or above
+
* a version of Eclipse 3.3 or above with the following set of plugins installed
+
:* [[EMF|EMF]] 2.3.0 or higher
+
:* [[MoDisco/KDM|KDM metamodel]]

+
=== Source Repository ===
+
 
+
All of the source code is stored in a public source repository, which you can access at:
+
 
+
[https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.kdm.source.discoverer/ https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.kdm.source.discoverer/]
+
 
+
You can also browse it [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/index.cgi/plugins/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.kdm.source.discoverer/?root=Modeling_MODISCO through the Web interface].
+
 
+
=== User manual ===
+
 
+
The plug-in provides the user with a contextual menu to easily create models.
+
 
+
By right-clicking on a container (folder or project) in the Eclipse Package Explorer view, you can quickly create the KDM Source model of your application (see next Figure). Each of these models can then be used with any other tool compliant with the corresponding metamodel.
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-Kdm Source popup menu.png|frame|center|Menus in Eclipse to create KDM Source model]]
+
 
+
A progress bar will appear at the bottom of the window as soon as the operation begins. Depending on the size of your application, the reverse engineering might take some time to complete (see next Figure).
+
+
[[Image:MoDisco-JavaDiscoverer progress bar.jpg|frame|center|Progress bar during models creation]]
+
 
+
At the end of the process, the newly created model file is added at the root of your project and is automatically opened in the default editor (see next Figure).
+
 
+
[[Image:MoDisco-Kdm Source model.png|frame|center|KDM Source model in the package explorer]]
+
 
+
It can be opened in MoDisco model browser (see next Figure) which brings some graphical improvements.
