I set up the SourceForge Project – http://sourceforge.net/projects/archimate/
Minty
Added the Mint EMF tool extension to my Eclipse setup. http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/?project=mint Very handy.
Modelling workshop, Birmingham
The Modelling workshop at Aston Conference Centre, Birmingham. JISC’s Community Engagement team gave an introduction to modelling. Main themes: Soft Modelling = no formal system, use your own notation. Emphasis on the process of thinking about the processes of modelling. Hard Modelling = UML, BPMN, ArchiMate. Then Bill gave a curtailed talk on modelling […]
Reading
Reading the ArchiMate Primer and spec. Yawn…
EA, GMF, GEF, EPF, EMF and…WTF?
In my recent researches into ArchiMate, EMF, GMF, and so on, I’m discovering some interesting connections between EA, ArchiMate and EMF and EPF (Eclipse Process Framework). Somebody’s thesis. He says: “The ArchiMate project did not deliver an official specification how the ArchiMate model is persisted. Unofficially the project team experimented with the eclipse modeling framework […]
Setting up Eclipse
Set up an Eclipse instance for GMF/EMF development and playing around with basic EMF stuff. These are the plug-ins needed: Eclipse SDK Delta Pack EMF SDK (to get the EMF source code) XSD SDK (for Schema modelling) GEF SDK (to get the GEFsource code) ECore Tools SDK (for ECore diagram generator) GMF SDK GMF Experimental […]
Started
Started gathering the materials for the project – The ArchiMate spec, take a look at other tools, read the PDF documents and so on. Also, need to do much research on the Eclipse Modelling Framework, so two EMF books ordered from Amazon. This will be a “proof of concept” tool: The creation of an OSS […]
