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.
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:
