About this series
This two-part series is for business analysts, architects, developers, or anyone who
is interested in learning about the new modeling, transformation, and reverse
transformation capabilities of IBM's Rational Software Delivery Platform. You'll learn
about the following IBM Software Delivery Platform products:
• Rational Software Modeler
• Rational Systems Developer
• Rational Application Developer
• Rational Software Architect
After reading this tutorial series, you will know how to create UML 2.1 projects,
diagrams, edit models, transform models into actual source code, and even
reverse-engineer source code back into a UML model with easy-to-follow,
step-by-step instructions.
Prerequisites
This tutorial series assumes that you have some understanding of the Unified
Modeling Language (2.1). Knowledge of Java development and UML class diagrams
is helpful, but not required.
System requirements
To run the examples as demonstrated in this tutorial, you need to have Rational
Software Architect or Rational Systems Developer installed on your machine. All of
the prerequisites for Rational Software Architect are located in the Resources
section of this tutorial. Rational Software Architect works best on a machine with at
least 1 GB of RAM.
Conclusion
Congratulations! In this tutorial series, you transformed a UML model into Java
source code, edited the source code using UML visual class diagrams, and
reverse-transformed the source code back into your original model. You can now
see how easy it is to use the Rational Software Delivery Platform to create
meaningful UML 2.1 models and diagrams.
