Java functioning modes

Introduction

Two functioning modes are available with Objecteering Java Developer:

· Model driven, which is based on the total generation of declarative code from the model itself. Application code (in other words, the programming of operations) is modeling through notes, or typing in marked zones. This mode does not concern reverse engineering.

· Round trip, which combines reverse engineering and code generation. Code is generated in exactly the same way as with the model driven mode. The user can freely modify the code nearby in the generated code or work in his favorite IDE. The model is updated when the "Reverse" command is run.

Configuring the functioning mode

The Java functioning mode is configured through the standard Objecteering configuration interface, which is launched the "MDAC options" command in the "Tools" menu, or by clicking on the icon in the toolbar. The generation mode is selected in the "Generation mode" field (as shown in Figure 126).
