Features

Application Factories

• Modeling a data-aware application based on AppFuse using the Tags and Application Diagram features of Application Factories in JBuilder 2008 Enterprise.
• Using scripting capabilities of Application Factories to supplement a data-aware application and capture developer intent as part of the application metadata.
• Easily navigate repository of applications using Application Factory Explorer and Application Preview window within the Application Factories environment of JBuilder 2008 Enterprise.
• Metadata provides dynamic application context which is then used by the IDE as filters over standard tools such as the Package Explorer.
• Dynamic classification using descriptive text based markup, resource linking, dynamic patterns, hierarchy of markup, and dynamic layout.
• Using scripts and templates to augment procedural code generation functionality within the IDE.
• Creation of a user interface which was itself created from a script and one or more templates.
• Using metadata to preserve historical application information and presenting it in an archeological context.

Swing Designer

• Grid Bag Layout
• Properties Editor
• Layout Assist
• Example of layout
• Border Layout
• Drag and drop components from the palette to rapidly build your Swing forms. All aspects of positioning and layout can be done visually.
• JBuilder's new Swing designer works off of your existing source code. The code and visual design always remain in sync.

Developer Productivity Features

• The Graphical EJB Workbench provides a visual point-and-click, two-way designer with instant navigation between visual EJB components in designer and source.

Code Archeology

• LiveSource technology simultaneously replicates changes to models in the code, and vice versa.
• Synchronization between model and code in LiveSource
• LiveSource replaces the traditional round-trip engineering methods, which usually cause models and code to go out of synch.
• Round-trip editing in LiveSource

Team Development and Collaboration

• ProjectAssist dramatically reduces the time and complexity for startup of new projects by guiding the setup process for new team and project environment definitions.
