The relevant artifacts (specifications, RTF reports, and XMI files) are available at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.4/.

source files

The source files for UML 2.4, in Eclipse UML2 format, provided by Nicolas Rouquette (nicolas.rouquette@jpl.nasa.gov).

source XMI files

In the interest of time, I have decided to use the normative XMI files from the OMG instead of the models provided by Nicolas.

Comment 4 Kenn Hussey 2011-08-22 23:45:17 EDT

Initial changes to comply with UML 2.4 have been committed to git. Remaining work includes:

- implementation of validation rules (these have long been unimplemented)
- build changes (to transition to Buckminster - see bug 351776)
- support for migration (of legacy resources)
- support for interchange (of UML and CMOF resources)
- documentation

MOF source XMI files

Here's the machine readable definition of MOF 2.4 to be used to support CMOF 2.4 interchange.

Comment 6 Kenn Hussey 2011-10-10 10:02:14 EDT

Build changes are now complete, as are support for migration and interchange. Implementation of validation rules will need to be addressed in response to bug 80307; this work is not specifically related to support for UML 2.4.

Now on to documentation...

Comment 7 Kenn Hussey 2011-10-10 10:12:54 EDT

Updating the existing documentation (i.e., the two "getting started" articles) will actually be covered by bug 205478. So, all that remains for this bug is the provision of a migration guide.

Comment 8 Kenn Hussey 2011-10-31 14:58:54 EDT

A migration guide has been developed for UML2 4.0 and can be found at http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/UML2/UML2_4.0_Migration_Guide.
