Scripting environment: configuration/profiles

[Rouven]

Hello everyone,

we are currently looking to implement a rather complex uml model-2-xml "translation" (at this point in time we are looking at the scripting interface over the transformations due to the navigation required to fulfill the mapping). For this translation we need to obtains certain configuration information, preferably even configuration profiles. I currently only see the following alternatives:

• have user edit a script which lists all the settings
• guide user using a series of yes|no|cancel prompts

Both of these alternatives are not very handy and can not meet profile requirements.
A different option would be to abuse some of the concepts available in EA, e.g. Requirements or Issues with define names, but that idea seems like a lot of abuse.
Do you have other suggestions how we could achieve a configuration, that can easily be edited by the user, but at the same time is part of the model file that everyone shares?

Thanks for input!
