Since 2004, IBM Rational has a new generation of UML modeling tools Fully built on Eclipse

Major improvements since Rational Rose in

Usability

Configuration management of models

Automation of modeling tasks

Customizability

Integrations

Development solution in many variants Building blocks of functionality

Agenda


New Generation Modeling tools



7

IBM Rational Software Modeler v7.0.5

Supports major architectural modeling and specification environments

Enables easy adoption and use from a simplified and responsive user interface

Provides an open and extensible modeling platform based on Eclipse v3.3

Supports the development of custom meta-models

Integrates with top-line development platforms

Automates traceability from requirements development, to design, to implementation


8

Solution: Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.1 Support

Rational Software Modeler is based on the latest open standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) specification version 2.1.

Supports diagramming for architectural and design specification Class, Communication, Component, Composite

Structure, Deployment, Activity, Sequence, State, Object and Use Case diagram types

Automatic diagram generation

Allows you to capture and communicate all aspects of an application architecture using a standard notation that is recognized by many different stakeholders.


9

Solution: Modeling assistance

Visual modeling with content assistance Guides you with action bars,

connection handles, context-sensitive content suggestions, task-specific modeling cheat sheets, extensive online help, samples and tutorials to help you create well-formed models. Simplify the capture of UML models during Analysis and Design

Make modeling more accessible to a broader audience Including Section 508

New custom views improve the editing experience

“Diagram Navigator” view provides a diagram filtered view of the models and workspace

Diagram links as first-class citizens

“In diagram editing” to accelerate modeling.

Properties view

Inheritance view


10

Solution: Freeform Diagrams

Simplified diagramming using freeform diagrams Simplifies the usage of UML

notation for design, documentation, communication and understanding design elements captured in UML models.

Include images in diagrams

Web Browser-like controls to navigate workspace or model


11

Solution: Making product installation & deployment easier

Optionally install into existing Eclipse environment Checks plug-in versions for compatibility

Smaller “features” to optionally install

Managed updates

No re-installation from trial to product

No technical license


12

Solution: Model Compare & Merge

Model differences & conflicts Description of selected

difference or conflict

Diagram view of selected difference or

conflict for left contributor

Choose View Type


14

Solution: Consumability

Able to configure UML tools exposed to the user

Simplify interface

Remove unnecessary tools on drawing palettes and in context menus

Enable customers to configure the tools to better suit the needs of different types of modelers

SW architects

Business analysts

Problem domain / requirements analysts

Rose users (disguise UML 2 to appear more like UML 1.x)

Complements existing Project Explorer UML element filtering capabilities

Complements new Profile capabilities


16

Solution: Transformations

Transformation Engine based on JET2 New editor for JET includes syntax

highlighting, content assist, outline view and folding

Transformations are optimal for “batch” style computationally intensive operations Model-to-model

Model-to-code

Transformations may be updated via RAS repository hosted on IBM developerWorks Examples:

Web Services transformations

XSD transformations


19

Solution: Extensibility

Open application program interface (API) to support customizing and extending the modeling environment

UML profile creation and editing to customize the properties stored in UML models Allows organizations to develop plug-ins and customize the analysis and design

tools for their environment and process. Supports the creation of an ecosystem allowing vendors to develop integrations.

Comprehensive extensibility infrastructure for creating specialized extensions to the product Leverages Open Source API and frameworks (UML 2.1, EMF, GEF)

Extension points for UI, menu, layout, command management, query

Extensions created in Java using Eclipse plug-ins

“Pluglet” support for lightweight scripting using Java

Provides User assistance using wizards and samples


20

Solution: Model Reporting Capability Using BIRT

New, highly customizable model reporting capabilities

Inherits BIRT’s capabilities for report formatting, charting, emitters (e.g. PDF)

BIRT skills can be leveraged on other kinds of reporting applications

Report designers can create report definitions based on such data sets

Designed to support multiple semantic domains

SoDA still available and SoDA works on RSM models
