Supporting every UML tool is very difficult to achieve:
- There are several versions of UML.
- Many tools have their own (incompatible) UML metamodels, derived from
a given official version.
- There are several versions of XMI.
- Many tools have their own (incompatible) implementation of XMI,
derived from a given official version.
In practice, one solution is to choose one UML metamodel as pivot, and
then build bridges to & from other tools. In your case, the pivot would
be UML2.
Note that if you use the UML2 metamodel available from the atlanticZoo,
you may have problems using specific features like profiles: the UML2
plugin implements most of the semantics of profiles in Java code.
Therefore, if you intend to use profiles, you should probably directly
use the UML2 plugin. To do this with ATL, instead of loading UML2.ecore,
you simply use the nsURI.
> 2.How I generate the java code from model (with all line commands)?
TCS (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/TCS) may be used. However, it is
usually more appropriate for DSLs (Domain-Specific Languages) than for
GPLs (General Purpose Languages) like Java.
Another solution is to use the model-to-text tools (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2T).
