Generating Ruby output

[Tim Adamson]

Hi all,

First up, good work on umple. I just stumbled across this project a few days ago and I have to say it looks pretty awesome.

I was wondering if there's meant to be command line options to get umple.jar to output Ruby code?

I've manage to get Ruby output by changing the default in UmpleInternalParser:postTokenCoreAnalysis and recompiling but a brief search through the code gives me the impression there's meant to be a "-generate" command line option that's not fully implemented.

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,

To generate code in a supported language, add a "generate" line to the
beginning of the code. You can actually generate more than one language at
a time this way.

So, to generate Ruby add

generate Ruby;

as the first line.

Please note: Our Java and PHP development tends to have more attention
paid to them.

The code generated in Ruby needs some work to make its style better match
what a Ruby expert would want to write.

If you want you can also make Umple output the Ruby in a different
directory, by adding a parameter to the generate statement thus:

generate Ruby "gen-Ruby";

(the quotes are required)

Hope this helps.

You are right: I believe there should be a command line option for this as
well. However the above is the way it currently works.
