modelant is a practical open source tool that supports model-driven software development processes. modelant version 2.x is an extension of Apache Ant, whereas modelant version 3.x extends Apache Maven. modelant can:
- create models,
- load models,
- query models,
- transform models,
- export models,
- reverse engineer to model
- java code,
- relational databases,
- XML document type definitions (DTD),
- XML Schema (XSD),
- Ant scripts (projects and antlibs),
- compare models and detect model changes,
- generate textual artifacts from models:
- java/any code,
- SQL,
- scripts,
- configuration files, etc.
- generate documentation of Ant scripts (for projects and antlibs in version 2.x)
Standards
- generating code out of the model using a JSP-like template language
- model conversion UML 1.3 to UML 1.4
- reverse engineering DTD, XSD, and relational databases to UML 1.3.
Code Generation
- code,
- SQL scripts,
- XML files,
- textual descriptions
- and many more.
modelant includes practical code generation templates for Java POJO. However, modelant does not provide a common off-the-shelf solution. It is not possible just to pick up and use immediately. Instead, the code generation templates should be adapted for the specific project, frameworks and code conventions.
Reverse Engineering
modelant’s feature for reverse engineering of java code, relational databases, XML document type definitions (DTD), XML Schema (XSD) and ANT scripts extracts UML 1.3 model that are practical for:
- generating documentation
- generating code
- comparing and revealing structural changes in databases, DTDs, XSDs
- visualization and human comprehension
Actually, the documentation of ModelAnt itself is an example of ant.doc outcome.
Distribution
The integration of modelant with Apache Maven simplifies the distribution of modelant through Maven plugins, which are found in the Maven Central binary repository. Then the use of modelant’s components is just including in your pom.xml, for example:
<plugin>
<groupId>net.mdatools</groupId>
<artifactId>modelant.uml13.maven.javauml</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>reverseEngineerJavaInUml13</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sourcepath>...</sourcepath>
<outputDirectory>...</outputDirectory>
<includeDependencySources>false</includeDependencySources>
<includeTransitiveDependencySources>false</includeTransitiveDependencySources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This allows Maven to download all modelant components and use them.
Excellent post. I used to be checking constantly this weblog and I am inspired! Very useful information specifically the closing phase 🙂 I maintain such information much. I used to be seeking this particular info for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.
Great blog here! Also your website loads up fast!
What web host arre you using? Can I geet your affiliate
ljnk to your host? I wish my site loaded up as fast as ours lol
Review my blog post http://www.grandtraverserestoration.com
Hello,
I used Goggle WebMaster Tools and especially PageSpeed Insights (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights) to analyze the .css and .js files the site pages load. As a result I excluded (manually) the .css for all WP plugins it used to include in any page and the corresponding not needed scripts (including the whole jQuery). Moved any other .js loads to the bottom of the HTML page. At the end installed W3 Total Cache to merge and minify the .css files and .js files the public pages still use and cache them. As a result the pages started loading fast.
With best regards
