Announcement
Community Edition 6.3 is generally available
Skyway Software announces the general availability of Skyway Builder Community Edition 6.3, an open source code generator for the Spring Framework. The release continues the model centric approach: describe the application as a model, then generate the Spring project from that model.
With Community Edition, Java developers get an open source Eclipse plugin that is centred on models and requires almost no hand coding to make Rich Internet Applications and Web Services. It was the first plugin of its kind when the approach was introduced.
What the release includes
- Model driven generation for the data, service, controller and view layers.
- Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow scaffolding.
- Support for Rich Internet Applications and Web Services.
- The recipe set used throughout the documentation.
- Sample projects and tutorial material.
Upgrading from an earlier release
Open the project with the new plugin, review the generation report and regenerate one layer at a time. Regenerating everything at once makes it harder to see which change produced a difference. Keep the model file under version control so that you can compare generation runs.
