­In this post I will try to make life with AndroMDA custom cartridge easier by guiding you step by step to Build, Run, and Integrate the sample custom cartridge (deployment-cartridge) into your andromda application.

most of the problems that any newbie may face when he decide to develop his own custom cartridge are:

EGJUG Second Meeting

In the second meeting of EGJUG that was held

on 29/7/2006 at Cairo Faculty of Computer Science there were 2 sessions

and meeting.

The 1st one was "Introduction to AndroMDA" by Ali Abd El-Aziz from OpenCraft.

Ali spoke about the following:

Install Maven

Maven a tool used for building and deploying applications generated by AndroMDA. Based on the concept
of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting,
and documentation from a central piece of information. Install Maven by following
the steps below:

1. From Requirements to Design:
1. USING STATE COORDINATOR PATTERN FOR TRANSITION FROM
   DESIGN INDEPENDENT TO PLATFORM INDEPENDENT MODEL1

2. Requirements Gathering Languages:

this is my thesis introduction.

1. Introduction
As the complexity of the required software grows, it became evident that modeling data and
application is a must. Before modeling it was difficult to maintain or modify an existing system. At the
earliest stages, UML modeling was of little benefit except that this model provide high level view for
the application. After UML became the industry De-facto standard, supporting tools start providing
features like generating simple prototype from the model “generating class template with functions

in my last article (Reverse engineer DataBase to XMI.)

I wrote how to reverse  engineer DataBase and produce XMI file from the data base using andromda Schema2xmi plug-in.

in this article I will speak about how to produce PNG (Portable Network Graphics) Image or any other type of Image that produces the Class Diagram representation from the XMI file that we produced earlier from our Data Base.

ok lets start.

In this article I will try to reverse engineer a postgres data base and I think any other database will be the same with small modifications in the config and properties files.

ok lets start.

I will use andromda:schema2xmi plugin to achieve this task.
