Hi,
I would like to know how to integrate the generated java code from
an EMF model with a standard set of user interface widgets using
- JBuilder
- Eclipse VE1.0
- IBM AIUML (Abstract User Iterface Markup Language) toolkit
Could someone give me a few quick tips for integrating with all three
environments ? My final target is to learn to use the AIUML toolkit, but it
only works on Eclipse 2.1 and I use Eclipse 3.0.
I'm familiar with the JBuilder 9 development environment. I have yet to
learn how to use the Eclipse VE1.0 plug-in.
Is it possible to create a standalone JBuilder application using the java
sources generated from an EMF model ?
Is it possible to create a standalone application using VE1.0 for creating
the GUI and then linking the GUI to the java sources created from an EMF
model, without the Eclipse platform run-time or associated services running
hidden within the standalone application ?
Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon !

I really don't understand the question. Those three (especially AUIML)
are different beasts. And what does the EMF model have to do with it?
The VE is a Java Beans editor. So if your java classes are Java Beans or
are Swing/SWT/AWT then the editor can edit them visually.
AUIML is its own framework. Under the covers they are using the VE (at
least the version in Websphere AD 5.1.x), but they are up to the latest.
I don't know their status on that.

Hi,
The integration procedure would probably be different for JBuilder,
VE and AIUML. I want to learn all three integration procedures.
My basic process workflow is as follows ;
Step 01. Create an EMF model using UML, generate the model classes, the edit
classes and the editor classes, automatically. I'm interested in the java
sources generated from using EMF, that facilitate data object creation and
persistence using XMI to a file. The application uses a Model View
Controller design pattern.
Step 02. I do not intent to use the editor classes from within the Eclipse
run-time work-bench to add new objects and edit the data in the model.
Instead, I want to use the generated java sources , import them into say,
JBuilder, and then use the JBuilder visual editor to draw a dialog window
and map attributes from the EMF model to the dialog window. I will add EMF
model adapters to update the JBuilder GUI to respond to changes in the data
model. This is what I would like to do for scenario #01.
Step 03. Scenario #02, repeat Step 02 using Eclipse 3.0 platform and VE1.0M2
for the GUI aspect, instead of using JBuilder to build the GUIs, with the
EMF model generated java sources.
Step 04. Scenario #03, repeat Step 02 using IBM's AIUML toolkit to build the
GUIs, instead of using JBuilder to build the GUIs, with the EMF model
generated java sources.
If you can help me out with any of these integration scenarios, it would be
great !
Thansk and I hope to hear from you soon !
Best regards,
Elvis

For the VE, as long as your GUI is Swing/AWT/SWT then you can build the
gui with the ve and write the code by hand that connects the EMF
adapters to the GUI.
In the future as we expand the API you would be able to contribute code
that runs in the VE itself that could understand your EMF adapters and
actually have the VE (thru your code) generate the java code necessary
to hook the adapters to the GUI.
