The 2U Consortium have recently submitted a proposal for the definition of the
UML 2.0 infrastructure. This uses a innovative technique of rapidly “stamping out” the
definition using a small number of patterns commonly found in software architecture. The
contribution of this paper is to introduce the idea of reusability of mappings between
languages and defining some of the reusable mapping templates. This paper also illustrates
how these templates can be used to stamp out mapping between languages by stamping out
a mapping between UML and Java
