Chocolate for XDoclet is an EJB designer tool with XDoclet support for the Borland JBuilder IDE. Chocolate has been designed to simplify the development of Enterprise JavaBeans for various supported J2EE servers. Chocolate helps developers to create and e
Tutorial Details:
The Chocolate EJB Designer is a round-trip code editor that works directly on the bean source code by reading and writing java code and special XDoclet tags. XDoclet tags are a JavaDoc extension that control the output of the XDoclet code generation engine. XDoclet creates bean interfaces, standard and vendor-specific deployment descriptors, and optionally some other files like data objects for entity beans.
Chocolate extends the Borland JBuilder IDE with an additional tabbed pane that presents the various parts of the selected Enterprise JavaBean source code separated on different panels. This includes panels for general bean attributes, finder-methods, creator-methods, CMP-fields, CMR-fields, select-methods, home-methods and business-methods. Within each tab you can create, edit, and remove those attributes, fields and methods, and their respective XDoclet tags. Chocolate for XDoclet works with jdk1.3+, XDoclet 1.2 and supports EJB 2.0 and 2.1.
Chocolate is a round-trip editor, which means that Chocolate for XDoclet does not only write into your bean source code but also re-parses it after manual modification.
Chocolate is designed as an IDE plugin for various IDEs and right now available for the Borland JBuilder IDE. The architecture of Chocolate has an abstraction layer for the IDE integration. Ports to other IDEs like NetBeans and Eclipse are planned. To increase the usability of the XDoclet tag creation and editing facilities, Chocolate maps every single tag type into a single TagEditor class where tag-specific validation rules and actions are implemented. Chocolate is built using the Editor Framework, a compound model framework for Sun\'s Java Swing that simplifies the development of rich Swing applications. The Editor Framework will be released as open source in the future.
