What do you think about something similar in ProjectCenter?
I think this is a good idea, but the Smalltalk browser could do with
some modernization, IMHO. I've been thinking about a UML-based
development environment for a while (don't know if such a thing
exists). The Smalltalk class browser could be mapped to this, but what
is gained is a much better overview over the interplay of system
components. I've attached a small mockup.
Does something like this already exist? What does everybody think?
UML based development exists already for some time, see for example
Rational Rose. But be warned, this is a highly complex matter. Not
without a reason there are not many (usable...) such tools available! I
am not sure this is the way PC should evolve.
Another idea could be support for the "model driven architecture" (MDA)
paradigm which is very common for business applications today (say
EOF...). For more information see
http://www.omg.org/mda/
But again, I don't think this the main purpose of PC.
As the name implies, PC should IMHO be the tool which glues together
all steps of a development project. Hence PC shouldn't become a
specialised tool itself, but it should seamlessly integrate such tools
into the development process if needed! Right now there is just Gorm as
an example, but other such tools could be a good visual debugger, a
profiler, a class browser or an UML tool of course.
cheers,
