Automatic code generation into CORBA IDL

MetaEdit+ offers automatic code generation to CORBA IDL. It creates CORBA IDL declarations from UML class diagrams according to the following rules:

• Interface declarations are generated from classes which have stereotype "interface"
• Modules are included through the packages and their "interface" stereotyped classes
• IDL file is generated for each module and for each class which does not belong to any module
• Empty interfaces and modules are permitted
• Multiple inheritance supported
• Documentation of classes included as comments
• Constraints of attributes and operations included as comments
• Attribute access "readonly" included, according to the specified access for the attribute
• If data type is not entered, attribute is commented out with a warning to specify the data type
• Operation attribute "oneway" included if stereotype of an operation is named as one way
• Undefined return type treated as void
• Exceptions inside interface declarations included through operation definition in which stereotype of the operation is marked as "exception"
• Constants for classed may be defined if the stereotype of an attribute is marked as constant, uses initial value as constant value
• Enumerated types supported through initial values
