一直知道ArgoUML在进行与androMDA的配套工作，昨天第一次上这个AndroMDA浏览了一下。好像还不错，以后可以实践一下。
下面是它的定义：
What is AndroMDA?
AndroMDA (pronounced "Andromeda") is an extensible generator framework that adheres to the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) paradigm. Models from UML tools will be transformed into deployable components for your favorite platform (J2EE, Spring, .NET). Unlike other MDA toolkits, AndroMDA comes with a host of ready-made cartridges that target today's development toolkits like Axis, jBPM, Struts, JSF, Spring and Hibernate. AndroMDA also contains a toolkit for building your own cartridges or customize existing ones - the meta cartridge. Using it, you can build a custom code generator using your favorite UML tool.
Core Features
AndroMDA currently comes with the following features:
Modular design: all major building blocks of AndroMDA are pluggable and can be exchanged to meet your needs
Support for major UML tools like MagicDraw, Poseidon, Enterprise Architect and more
Comes with the complete UML 1.4 metamodel (support for UML 2.0 is currently being developed) - alternatively, you can bring your own metamodel in MOF XMI and generate code from models based on it
Validates the input models using OCL constraints which are related to the metamodel classes. Comes with pre-configured constraints that protect you against the most common modeling mistakes - add your own project-specific constraints, too.
Model-to-model transformations help to raise abstraction level. Write your own transformations, currently in Java, or in any transformation language, e.g. the QVT-like Atlas Transformation Language (ATL), in the next major AndroMDA release.
Can generate any kind of text output using templates (source code, database scripts, web pages, O/R mapping configuration files, etc.) - you teach it, AndroMDA does it!
Templates are based on well-known template engines. Currently, Velocity and FreeMarker are supported
Ready-to-use cartridges for common enterprise architectures (EJB, Spring, Hibernate, Struts, JSF, Axis, jBPM)
Support around the clock by team members around the globe: Measure the response time for questions in forum.andromda.org and be amazed by it! The forum already contains more than 10.000 articles.
Cartridges
Very much like Eclipse, AndroMDA features a plug-in architecture. AndroMDA itself basically is a transformation engine. To support arbitrary target architectures, you can plug-in custom transformations. These transformations are packaged as so-called cartridges.
AndroMDA comes with a host of ready-to-use cartridges such as:
Spring
EJB 2 / 3
Webservices
Hibernate
Struts
JSF
Java
XSD
You can also write your own cartridge to support your own architecture or framework. AndroMDA can produce output for any architecture and computer language you might imagine. Courses for cartridge writing are available at AndroMDA.com.
