Our team is very interested in helping new BridgePoint developers obtain the knowledge they need to enhance the tool. Recently we added a new “Model Translation / Model Compiler” section to the BridgePoint FAQ.
The initial topics are:
- How does model translation work? What role does the model-based model compiler play?
- What is publicly available? Can anyone outside the xtUML development team actually build Generator?
- Generator dependencies: Galaxy, Windows, Visual C++—what is required to eliminate them?
- How often do these tools change? When would I have to rebuild them?
The questions and answers primarily focus on the source code and usage of the tools that perform model translation. We encourage developers to keep asking questions in the chat rooms and the xtUML forum. Together we will keep improving the documentation and spreading BridgePoint development knowledge.
