The Model Development Tools (MDT) project focuses on big “M” modeling within the Modeling project; its purpose is twofold: 1) to provide an implementation of industry standard metamodels and 2) to provide exemplary tools for developing models based on those metamodels. Since its launch in September of 2006, MDT has undergone its first major release and is now working towards its second release as part of the 2008 Ganymede Simultaneous Release. This short talk will provide an overview of the new features and components in MDT and give an update on the status of its 1.1 release.
