Contribution
It introduces the concept of text-based modeling, demonstrating its benefits and providing a textual UML state machine example within Eclipse.
Findings
Text-based modeling offers efficiency advantages over graphical methods.
Textual UML state machines can be effectively implemented as Eclipse plugins.
The approach facilitates extensibility and integration in development tools.
Abstract
As modeling becomes a crucial activity in software development the question may be asked whether currently used graphical representations are the best option to model systems efficiently. This position paper discusses the advantages of text-based modeling over commonly used graphical representations. It is inspired through the advent of new extensible development tools like Eclipse. The discussion is illustrated by showing a textual version of UML state machines as Eclipse plugins.
