MyEclipse 4.0 Adds UML, JSF Modeling
By Edward J. Correia
June 15, 2005 —
Genuitec has added UML modeling capabilities to the latest version of MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench, its Eclipse plug-in for J2EE development.
The 4.0 M1 release, which came out last week, also delivers six UML diagrams, including use-case, class and state; sequence and component diagrams are set for release later this year.
Also available now is JSF Developer, an outline view editor and designer that Genuitec president Maher Masri said is similar to the company’s existing Struts modeler. “This allows you to create a model for JSF-based applications.” The environment provides a graphical navigation flow designer, XML source editor, multiple views and wizards, and reportedly supports Sun’s JSF reference implementation 1.1.01 and MyFaces 1.0.9. Drag-and-drop capability for classes will be added in version 5, set for the third quarter, Masri said.
The release also adds a forms-based configuration editor and wizard for the Hibernate object-relational persistence engine, and aligns with Tapestry, the Apache Jakarta subproject for Web application development, through configuration and template editors and by adding capabilities and dependencies to any MyEclipse Web project. Also new is an enhanced Oracle connector, which Masri said enables developers to view and edit Oracle functions, triggers and stored procedures. “This allows for comprehensive Oracle database management,” he said.
MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench runs on Linux and Windows with the Eclipse 3.0.2 SDK. Subscription pricing increases from US$29.95 per year for most editions to $49.95 per year for editions with UML or the Oracle connector, and for the final JSF modeling edition due later this year.
Masri said that with the release of version 5, JSF Developer will be renamed JSF Designer, and “will include a Dreamweaver-like split screen for code and WYSIWYG display. Code will remain in sync with the design,” and conversely, changes made in the code will be reflected in the design.
The price increase was something his company had planned to do eventually anyway, Masri said. “The plan all along was to go to $49.95. And we [also] thought of selling the UML as a separate product when we saw that competitive tools cost between $600 and $1,200.” The same thought applied to the JSF and Oracle tools, he said, but that led to too much fragmentation of the product line.
