> Do you plan to add a code generator? Unfortunately right now I am fully focusing on UML Class Diagrams, and I have limited resources (my time), and has only 26 hours. I will start writing a code generator for UML next month, but that has somewhat different semantics to FSM.

The MesashiUmezawa/SState looks quite good; the semantics seem closer to UML StateMachine than FSM, but that's fine, because it's more powerful. Also using model maintained by someone else would free my hands to focus on the application itself. So while I currently don't have the time to implement this myself, I would be very happy to help you in any way (documentation, examples, explanations, etc.) if you are up for the task. > I just re-checked the DynaCASE video and it has its own textual FSM way :) FSM has just a Smallltalk DSL (shown in the beginning). The textual representation (at the end of the video) is related to BORM, which is quite a different beast. (Also I rewrote it since then, because what's in the video was just a proof-of-concept.) But then again creating a better Smalltalk DSL or a textual DSL (with the help of PetitParser) is quite easy and fun. :-) > > A little thing that could be added is to generate an empty FSM after > creating the project I'm assuming you created the project from the "DynaCASE" world entry; I don't think that it should create FSM by default because there are two more models (UML Class diagram and BORM), so it doesn't now which one to pick. What I can do is add a button or something where you can select what kind of initial diagram you want. However right now you can click on the "DC Finite State Machine" world entry (it has a submenu with examples, but don't click on the examples, click on the entry itself) --- this opens a new empty FSM diagram.
