[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS for Application Schema development

[Luí­s Moreira de Sousa]

Dear Ben,

I have worked with Papyrus for nearly a decade. I developed DSMLs on it and Eclipse-integrated code generators using MOFM2T supported by Acceleo. It is a rather powerful tool, and quite deep, which I imagine is the reason why some folk do not fancy it.

I find it tragic to have what is supposed to be an open standard pretty much dependent on such an expensive tool as EA, when obvious FOSS alternatives exist.

I shall give a try to ShapeChange with a Papyrus generated XMI.

Regards.
