Umple status update: The Umple open source version is ready to use

Development of the Umple model-oriented programming technology continues at a rapid pace. We have completed open-sourcing the vast majority of Umple, including the compiler, the Eclipse plugin and UmpleOnline.

Current developments

Recent additions include better support for Interfaces. The signatures of base-language methods are now parsed too.

Here's what is coming up:

• We are moving from our own parser to an XText-based parsing technology, which generates the metamodel in Ecore
• We are adding a tracing sublanguage to allow generation of tracing (dynamic analysis) directives from within a model
• GUI generation from a model is being added. This was created some time ago for Julian Solano's thesis, but we are now in the process of open-sourcing the work.
• We are working towards adding C++ code generation.
