UML haywire
Well, spent the last few days looking more into UML tools that are available to be used for development here at Housing. I've determined that the program I had liked from the get-go, Visual Paradigm's SDE for NetBeans, is not quite as good as I thought. For some reason the evaluation version that I'm running won't generate all of the java class files for the classes you create in UML... It only generates one of them. Yes, it does create the files, but theyre empty and you don't have a way of changing that. I've been unable to figure out a way around this problem, so I've moved on to testing other options. For the most part though the UML creation capibility of VP-UML is quite nice... Only wish I could test it fully!
The next contender is MagicDraw UML. This too boasts a nice interface to NB, but I wasn't that impressed with it initially. Maybe I'll spend some more time on it tonight and tomorrow. I also need to work on testing. I tried to spend some time today looking at JUnit and JMeter. Will read more tonight. The next meeting is supposed to be scheduled for some time next week. Haven't heard yet on details.
