Xml based metalanguage for a database schema definition. The following artifacts could be generated from this definition: DDL scripts for various database servers, HTML - documentation, ERD.
We are attempting to build a scala compiler plugin to auto-generate avro classes based on some simple definitions. This plugin is for the Scala 2.8 compiler, and for the Avro 1.3.0 runtime.
Hannibal is a code generator that can generate scaffolding for web projects in different languages, including Java, PHP, SQL, and JavaScript. The code it generates follows Restful considerations.
Exadel Flamingo provides a set of commands that help a developer to generate initial code. To bootstrap a project, a developer answers a few questions in a wizard. Based on these questions, a standard project is generated. Flamingo is based on Maven, therefore the new application is generated according to Maven conventions, making it easy for people familiar with Maven to navigate through the project.
The generated code provides all the necessary plumbing and connectivity from Flex or JavaFX to Seam or Spring. A developer only needs to focus on business functionality; Flamingo takes care of the rest. All communications between the user interface and Seam or Spring components are taken care of by Exadel Flamingo.
Exadel Flamingo also provides a set of Flex components that make it extremely convenient to support specific features of Seam on the client side.
StringTemplate is a java template engine (with ports for C# and Python) for generating source code, web pages, emails, or any other formatted text output. StringTemplate is particularly good at multi-targeted code generators, multiple site skins, and internationalization/localization. It evolved over years of effort developing jGuru.com. StringTemplate also generates this website and powers the ANTLR v3 code generator. Its distinguishing characteristic is that it strictly enforces model-view separation unlike other engines. Strict separation makes websites and code generators more flexible and maintainable; it also provides an excellent defense against malicious template authors. There are currently about 600 StringTemplate source downloads a month.
What does it do?
Given an accessible database schema, the Hibernate POJO Generator produces all the Java code necessary to access each field in each table via the Hibernate persistence framework. Additionally, the generator also creates all the necessary helper classes and test units for each component.
Fast Code is a free eclipse plugin designed to help write code faster in a spring based applications. But it can be configured to work with many other kinds of applications as well.
Description
In a typical multi tiered application, there are lot of similar code. E.g in a struts application with spring hibernate backend, you have to create FooAction, FooService and FooDAO for every domain object Foo. Besides this, there will be quite a few configuration files. Typing them all manually takes time, gives you carpal tunnel, and is error prone.
To use this plugin, please download the jar file from the download link above. Once downloaded, put it in the plugins folder of your eclipse installation directory and restart eclipse.
Pax Construct provides a Swiss Army® knife for OSGi that helps you rapidly create, build, manage and deploy many types of OSGi bundles. The core functionality is provided by a flexible Maven2 plugin that enhances and streamlines the Maven build process for OSGi, along with intelligent archetypes that adapt according to your needs.
Unix and Windows scripts are available to further reduce the need to remember (and type) long command strings. These scripts come with basic help text and can bootstrap themselves from an empty system.
You can use Pax Construct to create a simple first bundle in less than a minute, all the way up to managing a Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGiTM system.
Dozer is a Java Bean to Java Bean mapper that recursively copies data from one object to another. Typically, these Java Beans will be of different complex types.
Dozer supports simple property mapping, complex type mapping, bi-directional mapping, implicit-explicit mapping, as well as recursive mapping. This includes mapping collection attributes that also need mapping at the element level.
Please read the about page for detailed information on Dozer.
EclipseWork is a powerful code generation plugin for Eclipse. You can easily generate code using POJO's or Tables from the database.
EclipseWork takes care of all the complexity in creating Eclipse Wizards. You don't need to be an Eclipse developer to write powerful wizards. Enjoy!
Hm, CLI-based...
"Welcome to JavaRE. The goal of this project is to create a toolkit with applications that makes it possible to move between UML model and Java source code during development without having to update duplicated information by hand."
Java framework for CRUD and Validation.
Crank Google Group for Questions and Such
Crank is a master/detail, CRUD, and annotation driven validation framework built with JPA, JSF, Facelets and Ajax. It allows developers to quickly come up with JSF/Ajax based CRUD listings and Master/Detail forms from their JPA annotated Java objects.
Crank uses a lot of the new JSF features from Facelets, Ajax4JSF, etc. that will be used in JSF 2.0. Crank is a use case analysis of what is possible with the new JSF 2.0 stack.
The validation piece does server-side validation, Ajax validation or just emitted JavaScript validation based on Java annotations, property files, XML files, or database tables. Currently works with JSF, Spring MVC and Spring Webflow.
This project explores advanced resources of code generation. Briefly speaking about
the code generation, our main idea is that the developer shouldn´t worry about the
frameworks configuration and integration, project´s configurations or repetitive work. The developer
must worry about the client´s business rules, and technologicals solutions for them. This is this
project´s motivation. Minimize the effort and time of J2EE projects, using the
code generation.
Pedro is an application that creates data entry forms based on a data model written in a particular style of XML Schema. Users can enter data through the forms to create data files that conform to the schema. They can use controlled vocabularies to mark-up text fields and have the application perform basic validation on field data. When they feel they have finished writing a data file, Pedro can tell them if they have left out any required records.
Papyrus is a dedicated tool for modelling within UML2. This open source tool is based on the Eclipse environment.
Key features:
* Eclipse UML2 compliance
* Full respect of the UML2 standard as defined by the OMG
* Full respect of the DI2 (Diagram Interchange ) standard
* Extendable architecture of Papyrus that allows users to add new diagrams, new code generators, etc.
* Profile development support facilities for UML2 profiles
* Nested profiles support
Application Ermodeller is a free CASE tool for data modelling which is built in Java. This tool supports conceptual and logical data modelling and in the final step, it allows to create physical model that is specific for particular DBMS.
The basic idea is to support development of database via ER modelling in three levels of abstraction:
* conceptual
* logical
* physical
This separation allows to create database model independent on the particular database system. You may create conceptual model and logical model that are independent on any DBMS. Then, you may generate physical model for each DBMS you will use. Afterwards, physical models allows you to generate SQL data definition for your target DBMS.
The Beryl XML GUI library was written to ease the development of graphical user interfaces using Swing on Java. It lets you store user interfaces as XML markup. This will help you avoid unnecessary clutter in your source - Swing code mixed with application logic can become a troublesome and hard to read mess as the application size increases. The library comes with a visual component builder, which makes development a breeze. The most important features are:
Develop a java-based tool that manages the life-cycle of the database schema and generates code and documentation artifacts. The tool transforms an XML description of a database schema into an HTML data dictionary, SQL scripts to create the database, and Java data access code. The tool automatically updates the documentation, scripts, and code as the schema is changed and updated. The tool also provides a simple but powerful data access programming model and framework for developing custom data access code. The generated Java code conforms to the Data Access Object (DAO) and Value Object (AKA Data Transfer Object) patterns that are described in the J2EE Java Blueprints.
