MagicDraw in Docker
How to run MagicDraw in Docker container
see also https://community.nomagic.com/running-magicdraw-in-a-docker-container-t5895.html
The goal is to get an older MagicDraw 16.9 working in a container. The following approach has been tested on Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver.
The first step is to try the Prerequisites. In this step we try out to get a Java Swing GUI to work in a Docker container. If this works our chances are high that the docker container for Magicdraw will also work.
Prerequisites
You need to be able to run a Java 6 Swing GUI in a container. To get the GUI environment working might be tricky e.g. on MacOS see
Please try out the following Dockerfile and Gui.java first using the build and run scripts.
./build
./run
The Java based gui should appear:

run
This run script tries to make the X11 environment of your host computer available to your docker container. The approach is slightly different on Linux and MacOS. This has not been tested on Windows due to the need of an X11 environment. According to https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jamiedalton/2018/05/17/windows-10-docker-gui/ you might have some success with Xming in this environment. Please let me know whether this works via http://www.bitplan.com/index.php/Contact.

You need a MD_UML_169_no_install.zip which you can download from the No Magic magicdraw website.
The run script includes a mount
-v $HOME/:/home/$USER
which will make your home directory available inside the docker container. This way you can select your license key file and the models you'd like to open.

# 1. we expect the oracle bin file in /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src
# 2. Make the download bin file executable
chmod +x jdk-6u20-linux-x64.bin
# 3. Extract the bin file.
echo "yes" | ./jdk-6u20-linux-x64.bin
# 4. Using the following command create a folder called "jvm" inside /usr/lib if it does not already exist.
mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm
