MyEclipse for Spring 9.0 Reference Book

A reference for the model elements, recipes and generated artifacts in MyEclipse for Spring 9.0, organised for quick lookup.

The reference book is the lookup companion to the tutorials. It lists the model elements, the recipes that read them and the artifacts that each recipe produces. Use it when a generator run skips a file or when a template needs a small change.

How the book is organised

• Model elements. Project, package, type, attribute, operation and reference.
• Stereotypes. Entity, service, controller and flow, with the rules attached to each.
• Recipes. Inputs, outputs and the templates they use.
• Artifacts. The file types written into each layer.

Using the reference

Look up the element first, then the recipe. Most generation problems come from an element that does not satisfy its stereotype, or from a recipe that was not part of the selected set. The reference names the rule that failed and the recipe that enforces it.

Keep the book open beside the model explorer during a first project. After a few runs the element and recipe names become familiar, and the book becomes a quick check rather than a tutorial.
