Previously, the generation to UML2 used a default profile. Now we generate automatically the profile corresponding to the model. The UML2 generation is now complete. Moreover, we have added 2 new features. First, the generation of HTML documentation integrate now the generation of diagrams. Second, we have added a feature to validate an OBL file. This validation verify that all references can be reachable.

This version integrate the transformation to UML2 and add dialog on comments in class diagram.

We provide now the generation of Java code in the plugin. In the contextual menu of an OBL file, we can find “Generate Java”. This generation exports all classes in a folder “src” at the same level that the model. This generation use the technology provided by Acceleo.
The second feature is the integration of the ATL transformation to UML1. Now we can transform directly automatically your OBL files to UML files. You must have now ATL[http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/] in your Eclipse.

New tools to simplify again the management of model have added. A new view is added which permit to see all available models and each sub-diagram to open directly. A new action on OBLDI file or on folder export to picture all contained diagrams to JPEG, BMP, GIF, SVG or PNG.
The validation of REF file is more complete and verify now that all references are valid. All key are verified. Buttons are added on the search view to add or delete OBL files. The visualization of diagrams contains a new feature. It's possible to highlight attributes containing meta-informations. This feature can be activated/deactivated by a preference.

It's the begin of the creation of many tools to manage model simply. The first tool added is the search in a set of OBL files. If you search a particular class or a package in a folder, you just select the folder and fill the regular expression. The second tool is very interesting because it permits to generate a HTML documentation from a REF file. The documentation generated looks like the javadoc and contains all classes and all packages. We can now navigate simply in the global model and to export OBL model. We have added to the concept of deprecated class and we have corrected bug on the compute of dependencies.

In this version we have refactored OpenBlueLab crud engine using decorator and factory design pattern.

You can see a screenshot of the UML class diagram at:

(we have removed attribute and operation not to overload the diagram too much)

you can download MappingOR version 1.1.1 here:

This release adds visibility on operation and improves the visualization. The concatenation was improved to get a correct OBL file.

Sales CRM modules has been up to date.
Some aspects have been changed :
- CSS improvement
- fix minor/major bugs
- search bar has now been improved
- you can now set prority on tasks

Integration of Management Accounting System : companies can have their owm management accounting system, in addition with legal general accounting system. This new accounts gather general accounting accounts, in order to simplify budgeting. Each budget line can correspond to a management accounting system account.
Link between a cycle budget and a company have also been added, in order to allow to use the ERP for more than only one company, and in order to manage holding (companies group).

This version is the begin of the new tools used to simplify OBL's model management. The feature used to see directly the pivot from REF file or to generate the portal is improved and used now the web browser configured in the Eclipse preferences. Moreover, we have added tool on REF file to validate and to compute dependencies.
We have improved too the editor. Meta-information can be now added on class and on operation. The concept of abstract class was added. Some automatically normalization have been added on element. Now, the operation are generated in the PIVOT format.

This version is the most user-friendly available. All elements is parameterizable with dialog. All meta-informations are organized to simplify the creation of new diagram. The transformation from ArgoUML was improved.
In the use case diagram, we can link directly each use case with stereotype Col or ColDef defined in the model. In the class diagram, we have the visibility of each property and we have added name to each extremity of the association. But the new big feature is to configure the view and the layout directly in a new dialog on class. Comments are automatically generated and connected to the class. Moreover, we can see directly on the diagram if a class contains a view or a layout.
