XUMLIDOT

A Ruby UML XMI and DOT generator

Why?

The main reason for this is that I am a fan of Model Driven Engineering and whilst there are tools like Railroady out there, the focus on Rails makes it less useful than I would like. Combined with the fact that whilst railroady has the –xmi flag but when you run it you eventually discover it is not implemented (and hasn't been for seven years)

n addition, one of the major problems (IMO) with the approach taken by Xamin (and Railroady) is that they require files hence all the dependencies get pulled along.

Personally I am not interested in whether something needs active record to run though - I just want to know the inheritance chain and the methods/constants/attributes defined.

# USAGE

xumlidot OPTIONS dir_a dir_b

# OPTIONS

–rails (TODO: Gets additional rails knowledge) –dot (TODO: output dot) –xmi (TODO: output xmi ) –debug (TODO: output debug info)

–no-inheritance –no-composition –no-uses

–split=n –sequence=CLASS.method_name

# EXAMPLES

# DEPENDENCIES

# COPYRIGHTS/ATTTRIBUTIONS/THANKs

Thanks to Brian Lonsdorf for Xamin which I had initially hoped to just fork but ended up using to just get an idea of the XMI structure.

Thanks to the seattlerb group for the excellent ruby-parser and sexp-processor which got me parsing ruby superfast.
