What is the difference between Rational Rose and UML? Ans: The UML is the Unified Modeling Language. It is a collection of diagrams, terms, profiles, etc. that one uses to design and develop complex systems and software. The UML is controlled by a standards organization, the Object Management Group (OMG). The current version of the UML is 2.1. IBM Rational Rose is one of many tools for building UML models. The problem with Rose is that it stopped with version 1.5 of the UML. There were some follow-on products (Rational refers to them as RSx). Depending on what you are doing, there are other tools that may be better for your job. For example, if you are trying to design a complex system or trying to build a real time or embedded application, you should use Rational's Rhapsody (IBM bought Telelogic this year, so Rhapsody is now under the Rational banner, but not all sales people know that). Rhapsody has two main advantages over Rose. First, Rhapsody generates complete application code from class diagrams, state charts, activity diagrams and flow charts. The code it generates (C, C++, Java, and I think Ada) is very tight, easy to read and debug, and looks like the code you'd write by hand. Second, Rhapsody supports UML 2.1, so you get ports, structured classes, and other useful extensions. 36. Where the data pool values are stored?

When a plug-in wants to allow other plug-ins to extend or customize portions of its functionality, it will declare an extension point. The extension point declares a typically a combination of XML markup and Java interfaces, that extensions must conform to. Plug-ins that wants to connect to that extension point must implement that contract in their extension. The key attribute is that the plug-in being extended knows nothing about the plug-in that is connecting to it beyond the scope of that extension point contract. This allows plug-ins built by different individuals or companies to interact seamlessly, even without their knowing much about one another. 45. What is the class path of a plug-in?
