Hi Alexandra,
I tried to email you previously via your sf.net account - did you get that
mail ?
there I explained that your work could be interesting to integrate into
the hibernate
tools which basically has the same facilities (velocity and metamodel
driven - we just
use the hibernate meta model).
Questions:
- Why is the code dependent on EMF?
- Have you looked at the current hibernate toolset ant tasks ? (instead of
having your own)

Hi.
I'm developing the java.tri project, an open source eclipse plugin that
improves web application development. The tool is based upon hibernate
and
struts, and uses UML class models as a project start point. It may be
used
to generate and entire j2ee hibernate application or just parts of it,
like
HBM mappings.
The java.tri project is now generating hibernate mapping files from UML
and
intermediate metamodel. It doesn't implement all possibilities of
hibernate,
but may give a start up to new developers.
The plugin has a velocity code generator based in an extensible layered
templating system. This code generator is used to generate hibernate
mappings, struts based classes and a lot of features, except the Bean
classes generated by the hbm2java (becouse hibernate generator is good
enought!). It calls the hbm2java (using ant integrated plugin) to
generate
the bean classes, and uses the code merge feature of eclipse to
selectively
write code. This is an important thing, becose I belive that a good code
generator may be used to generate code after the code has been changed.
Also it's made to be easyly extensible. Just drop a velocity file in the
right directory and you can generate new text files. And being metamodel
driven, you can preserve specification and generate the same thing in two
different libraries sets (or even in another programming language...why
not?)
Well, until now it was a quite "one man's" work. I'd like to help make
our
works closely matched, but I don't know if it's an easy task, since
java.tricode generator uses EMF eclipse's framework and is coupled
with eclipse tool
(But it may be decoupled... ).
Well, if you have any spare time to take a look in java.tri and give me
any
advice (maybe just say it's a junk piece ;-), It will be welcome !
