Developing tools with Fujaba XProM

Abstract

Fujaba is an UML [21] based CASE tool with an emphasis on code generation from graphical behavior specifications. The Fujaba tool is accompanied by the Fujaba process, a systematic approach to use Fujaba for system development [5]. To improve the tool support for the Fujaba process, we have developed the XProM plug-in. This paper exemplifies how the XProM plug-in supports the tool developer in following the Fujaba Process. Main parts of this paper are a tutorial to XProM users. However, the paper is also useful for other CASE tool developers as a guide how developers could be supported. Therefore, we also give some hints, how such a support may be realized. As a running example we use the development of model transformations for a simple statechart editor. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
