Hi,
In my definition of open source, AndroMDA is open source as you can look into the sources by yourself and can engage to improve it.
It is also not completely true what you say about the modelling tools, because you only need the professional versions of the UML tools if you want to use the bpm4struts cartridge. In my case (using the Java and the EJB cartridge) I can safely work with the free (community) version of Poseidon or the community version of MagicDraw (also free).
*hmm* complicated you say. I think that there is always additional work to get known to the technology before you really benefit from using it. We did a bit research in open source MDA generators and our result was that AndroMDA provides quite a good documentation and a very good community with friendly developers that will help you out. Perhaps it is a bit hard to understand all the design decisions, but once you get used to it, it is getting easier and easier, give it a try :)
Just my 2 cents ;) Stefan

I read an email about all those tools that AndroMDA support. Is there any free or open source tool in the list?
My question is: AndroMDA is an open source initiative or just a way to
sell Poseidon and Magic Draw copies ?
Becouse, what is the point of an open source tool that needs a
comercial one (very specific one, and pretty unknown. Where not
talking about world leader UML tools like rose and together
And... it's SO complicated. Version 3.0 is very complicated. Much more than v2.
I just want to generate hbm files from UML model,and androMDA does not
accomplish that in a efficient way.
Thanks.
