|
|
|
After I took the time and effort to download Omondo's Eclipse UML Free Edition I was very disappointed when I tried to use it for the first time. The message I received was "The shared project is not supported under the free license."
Is there any serious developer who does not use CVS (or Subversion) even for his private projects? I very much appreciate Omondo's willingness to provide a free edition for the public, but the implementation is practically worthless for me. I could very well do without the permission to use the plugin for commercial purposes, but not without the permission to version control my code.

Not that I know of. I am equally upset at this discovery.
The features graph only shows that the Free edition does not have "Team Support", which is fine for me -- I do not want this support from the product, and do not wish to place Omondo's diagrams into any source control system. However, I want to be able to create diagrams for projects already under source control. The Version Control Support section of the features graph is disingenuous because it obscures this contrived and senseless limitation under the guise of a lacking feature.

In previous versions of the free edition Team support wasn't available neither. But it hasn't complained about projects configured to use CVS.
It would be nice if Omondo removes this check, but leafs Team support disabled.

You can work with Omondo with the project disconnected from the CVS/SVN repository and re-connect after you've created your diagrams. As long as the diagram is open in the UML editor you can continue to work with it after reconnecting to the repository - I haven't checked if the Omondo refactoring options trigger CVS/SVN commands yet.
To disconnect a shared project, in the Package Explorer select the project you wish to use Omondo with, from the context menu select the 'Disconnect' option under the Team menu.
Cheers
Adam

This may be a temporary workaround, but not satisfying at all. In general you model and code in small increments and if all works fine you check in the appropriate changes into CVS. With the current Free Edition this is very awkward, because you continuously have to connect and disconnect from the CVS.
!!! Pleas remove this check !!!
Omondo UML is a great tool and i would like to develop my private software with it, but this restriction forces me to take a different one (e.g. Together Control Center Community Edition). I think many other developers will, too

Thank you for the pointer, it seems that product does not support code generation or reverse-enginnering. However Visual Paradigm Community Edition does --

You may consider using that for the time being, as I am. Some of us are still holding on to the hope that the Omondo team will realize the mistake in subjecting this crippling mechanism on their loyal users.

Everyone I know of uses some form of version control for thier personal code nowadays so this is a real turn-off. Makes it difficult to play with Omondo for a bit to decide whether to buy the Studio version for myself or recommend it to companies.
Oh well. Now where is visual-paradigms...
