Announce : Release of AdaDesigner, to an Ada refactoring framework.

[David Sauvage]

AdaDesigner [1] is an Ada 2005 (GPL) software which aims to become an
Ada
software refactoring framework.

Using ASIS [2], AdaDesigner builds a specific package call-graph view
of the project.
Using some meta-data added in the GPR project files, it creates an
abstraction layer further called sub-component layer. One sub-
component contains several packages.

AdaDesigner already proposes software engineers one interesting
component design view of their software projects. This is done by the
generation of a graphviz [3] DOT [4] file.

See AdaDesigner presentation [5] for more details.

In the future, AdaDesigner could also be able :

    - To generate UML components views directly from the code (via XMI
[6] format).
    - To propose a modern way of doing refactoring on the software
(via a high level HMI).

AdaDesigner is based on :

    - GNATGPR [7] (GPL)
    - ASIS [8] (GPL)
    - AUnit [9] (GPL)

Thanks to all the people behind those projects.
