Tools Overview and Distribution Bundles

UniMod project consists of the following tools:

1. Java Finite State Machine Framework (FSM) consists of:
1. FSM meta-model;
2. FSM compiler. Do not confuse it with Java compiler;
3. FSM validation algorithms;
4. transformers between in-memory FSM model representation and XML FSM description;
5. Runtime Framework for creating FSM interpreters. Interpreter here is program that accepts FSM model and process events against it;
6. complete interpreter for stand alone applications, implemented at the top of Runtime Framework;
7. complete interpreter for Web applications, implemented at the top of Runtime Framework and to be deployed in Java Servlet 2.x container;
2. Eclipse Plug-in. Plug-in implements the following functionality:
1. Graphical editor for UML Statechart and Class diagrams;
2. On-the fly model validation that notifies user about found errors and warnings and suggests possible Quick Fixes;
3. FSM model launcher that allows to execute created graphical model in one click;

Tools are distributed in two packages:

• UniMod-Bundle-XX.XX.XXX.zip contains both tools (Java Finite State Machine Framework and Eclipse Plug-in) binary, documentation, samples, sources and build scripts;
