Hi Daniel, I wouldn't rely on Xdoclet too much, it's a convenient tool but sometimes it's just easier to skip it altogether
I would definitely go for option #2, no doubt The implications are that for option #1 you rely on another bunch of dependencies, that can perfectly be ommitted by simply creating more complete templates. It will also be much faster to run your builds because the extra xdoclet step won't be needed Anyway, Chad is better at explaining this kinda stuff, so I'm sure he'll be replying once he has the time :-) -- Wouter > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:andromda-user- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel > Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 9:53 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Andromda-user] Two ways of extending AndroMDA? > > Hi, all > > A confusion... > > If I find certain code generation is not enough and want to extend it by > defining new stereotypes and writing new code generation templates..
