Hi

You may notice I’m learning about UML and Haxe code. Just wonder if they an add-on or software which can generate Haxe code from UML diagrams?

I’ve looked into the add-on module for Dia (UML2haxe). But, it is not as detailed code generate as Bouml, or StarUMl for c++ source code.

I think UML isn’t used much anymore. I think the idea is good for learning, because it forces you to think before write. But in actual projects, code gets refactored all the time and the UML gets obsolete.
