Think packages in UML as containers. These can map to subsystems+views in Apex. (Nested packages map to subdirectories in the subsystem's views). Rose Ada lives. NT and Unix. Interfaces to Apex and Apex NT. Sorry, I don't understand your comment about UML being a "monolithic model". UML is a language. A Rose model can and is expected to have a strong software architectural basis - as represented by the UML package, their relationships, etc. Cheers, Steve (just another Rational tech rep) -- Steven Hovater svh@rational.com Software Engineering Consultant Phone/fax:781-676-2565/2500 Rational Software Pager: 888-906-2209 83 Hartwell Ave, Lexington, MA Amateur radio: AA1YH jim_snead wrote in message news:000b8d9b.b5931d11@usw-ex0102-014.remarq.com... > Another failing of the Apex subsystem notion > is how it does not fit into the other Rational product > called Rose UML.
