Bullshit. The only way businesses make sustainable income is by competitively *creating value*. Trying to protect a space that you deem "your domain" is not competitive, nor does it create more value in the market.
I'm using a conglomeration of tools to develop a tiered application that uses Eclipse as the primary client.
The model is developed using ArgoUML. The output is a zipped XMI file that I convert to a EMF ecore model using the argo2ecore Eclipse plug-in. From there I generate the model and editor code using EMF. After that, I use the Elver plugin to generate the corresponding hibernate mappings.
So from the UML source, I can generate EMF model and edit code to serve the presentation and hibernate mappings for persistence to an RDBMS -- all using free software.
There are a couple of big challenges, namely distributed object persistence (including transactions). For this we're attempting to use the EMF SDO (Service Data Objects) implementation. Also implementing business behavior is a bit of a challenge since ideally we'd be able to mark certain EMF methods as "biz logic" such that the factory generates a stub for the client, and I could fill in real business logic for the server side.
