Import and export functionality missing in binary release on sf
Hi,
today I tried bouml-ng and douml. bouml-ng crashed with my model and there was a file missing (mingwm10.dll). The douml release worked with my model - congrats!
What I am missing is the orginal import and export features from bouml 4.20 - the release I have and keep :-)
I need to generate XMI 1.2 and XMI 2.1. Also I need to import XMI 2.1.
Do you plan to include the missing bits (in menu and binary release)?
I also like to help you making an installer (using Inno Setup) if you like...
Thanks, Lothar
Currently, XMI import/export plugins are broken as a result of porting(thats why they are missing actually). BUT - since you'd most likely work in compatibility mode anyway, you can import model in Bouml 4.23 and then work on it in Douml. I will fix it sometime in the future most likely, but right now - there are more interesting things for me to work on(and for you too, trust me ;) ).
Also, the actual issue tracker is now at https://github.com/DoUML/douml
P.S. I'd appreciate any help with Douml. Of course an installer would be nice :)
That is bad. I rely on the XMI import and export functionality. Do you have a port near to the beginning with only changed the copyright related issues that enables a first release to have a binary I can point to from my project?
What I mean: Is that possible with forking to create a release as eraly as possible to keep releases available? (Including XMI import/export)
Thanks, I'll go to the new issue tracker by my next post.

If you are using linux - I am not aware of any verson that can import export since it has been broken since porting has begun. The only way to do it on linux, thus, is to download Bouml 4.22.2 if it still is in the repo. I thinkit was available for Ubuntu 9 but not sure about later.
If you have access to windows - you can download Bouml 4.23.7 from sourceforge of Douml (its in files section) and import stuff there. Atm, if you stick to compatibility mode (which is desirable anyway) you can use Douml for its GUI improvements and Bouml for import/export functionality.
The point is not me as user, rather I want to have a bouml or douml version my users can officially download that includes the import and export. Since my project relies on the UML tool via import and export I need any version that my users could download. I may check the most earliest version you got into git and see if I get it working.
If I am not wrong, git contins the latest source code before any port has begun. I'll see how to get that and try it.
Otoh I try what you told me now and see what works best.
Thanks

The point is - the code from before the port has begun is pure Qt3 code... thus it is necessary to have workign qt3 setup which I never had and will never have because it's totally obscure.
Can you pls suggest to me a simple tool to test generated xmi? As simple as possible. I've just made XMI2.1 generator work in douml but I don't know how to best test what I generated.
Yup, XMIgenerator works. I now need to fix importer which, I suspect, will be much harder.
