OpenEdge Datatypes for Enterprise Architect

As of version 7.1, Enterprise Architect does not come supplied with datatype definitions for OpenEdge. There is a Utility provided by PSC under PSDN Community which includes these datatypes along with other functionality, but there are some issues with that implementation. (Also see this) That Utility does not currently provide the option for loading the datatypes separately from the stereotypes that are also in that Utility and these stereotypes are at variance with the proposed UML Profile for ABL.

Therefore, an XML file is provided here for independently loading datatypes appropriate for use with the proposed Profile. These datatypes should be suitable for any use of EA with OpenEdge. They are provided as open source and so may be customized to taste by any user. We will note differences between the implementation in the Utility and the present implementation as appropriate. All reference to "Utility" refers to the one provided at the links on PSDN Code Share above (also available here).
