Papyrus is a dedicated tool for modelling within UML2. This open source tool is based on the Eclipse environment.
Key features:
* Eclipse UML2 compliance
* Full respect of the UML2 standard as defined by the OMG
* Full respect of the DI2 (Diagram Interchange ) standard
* Extendable architecture of Papyrus that allows users to add new diagrams, new code generators, etc.
* Profile development support facilities for UML2 profiles
* Nested profiles support
Main focus of the new release is the consolidation of the MDA approach of application development with wCMF. We enhanced the generator metamodel to make applications more customizable through modeling and improved the usability of the default application template. If you are new to wCMF start with the new HelloWord tutorial.
Business processes optimization with service-enabled applications is on the CIO's high priority agenda (according to a recent study of Gartner's Executive Program - EXP). At the same time a German study for SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) has confirmed this business need especially for Germany's distinct high share of SMEs.
AgilPro is a process integration framework based on a service oriented architecture (SOA). AgilPro integrates existing ERP (enterprise resource planning), material management and proprietary data processing systems using service adapters. Particularly SMEs are known to use isolated solutions which prevent integrated process flow. AgilPro Integration Framework will help to close this gap.
AgilPro integrates BPEL compliant process engines for process execution (e.g. JBoss jBPM).
While most development environments, like Microsoft Visual Studio and Borland JBuilder are code-driven development environments, ArchStudio focuses on software development from the perspective of software and systems architecture.
