These classes are inside a component called "Netbeans Metadata Repository" (see http://mdr.netbeans.org). This is an open source metadata repository which implements the OMG MOF specification (see the OMG website for more info), it implements JMI and XMI. YC> Another question from me: What I still have not found out is, YC> where these org.omg.uml.* come from. Who implemented it? These are all interfaces that have been byte code generated by Netbeans MDR from a the official UML 1.4 metamodel XMI file provided by the OMG (modified by Gentleware to add features for UML diagram interchange). The interfaces are implemented at runtime of MDR. The classes that implement those interfaces are generated as Java byte code and thrown away as soon as MDR terminates (which happens when AndroMDA terminates). Consequently, there is no source code for those classes. The Javadoc for the org.omg.* interfaces is available on the http://docs.andromda.org website. After the metamodel has been loaded into MDR, MDR can loaded arbitrary models based on that metamodel. It produces an abstract syntax tree in memory, tiny little objects that implement the org.omg.* JMI interfaces. Next, AndroMDA wraps those metamodel objects with metafacades and passes the metafacades to the template engine. For more info about metafacades, see also http://docs.andromda.org. YC> I will very appreciate it if you can help me with these two YC> questions. Enjoy AndroMDA! Cheers... Matthias -- Matthias Bohlen "Consulting that helps project teams to succeed..."
