Conclusion
8. Initial goals
Cost : Optimize the resources staffing.
– Make preliminary effort on design
– Postponed coding effort
Quality : Minimizing defects and the complexity
– Behavior design
– Share a common model
Features : Maintain a flexible software architecture
– "high level" model - functional point of view
– Documentation up to date
Time : Keep good productivity on time
– Do not start from scratch for coding
9. Steps
1. Work together on design
– abstracting technical details
– Generate functional design document
2. One shot code generation
– For boring EJB classes
– Skeleton and JavaDoc
3. Near MDA
– Add PSM
– Code round trip
10. First chain
Objecteering/UML WebLogic
EJB
PIM Descriptors
Eclipse
PSM EJB Java Module
Java / Javadoc
SQL Module
PSM SQL SQL Module
Oracle
SQL Scripts
SCC Module
Documentations
Word + Html Version management (PVCS)
11. Feedbacks
Impediments
– Multi-users with Objecteering
– Too many steps (PIM – PSM – Code)
– Transformer to complex
– Java generator not fully customizable
Benefits
– Very fast project start up
– Hide technologies complexity
– Documentation always up to-date

13. New group choice
Maven enterprise repository
Jonas selected
Objecteering dereferenced
Enterprise Architect selected
15. New development chain
Enterprise Architect Jonas
PIM
Eclipse
Java / Javadoc
Acceleo Module
XMI Hibernate
Descriptors
Documentations
RTF + Html MySQL
SVN Module
SQL Scripts
Version management (SVN)
18. Feedbacks
Impediments
– EA is evil
– EA is not an UML 2 tools
– XMI export change every minor version
– Still a bit long
Benefits
– Acceleo transformer accessible for Java developer
– With real development tools
– 15 000 lines J code = 3 000 lines Acceleo script
– No more PSM
– Much less licenses
– Good EA documentation generator

20. Conclusion
We believe in MDD approach
– Increases productivity and quality
– Good development framework
We need a complete Eclipse UML modeler
MDD can be use in agile development
– Change some manager wrong vision :
