This section briefly introduces some of the tools that can help you generate, compile, package and deploy components. You can do this within PowerDesigner, or use Ant or an IDE like JBuilder.
Working with Ant for Java Generation
Ant is a build utility like Make that uses a script named 'build.xml', through standard or vendor specific tasks that allows you to compile, create JAR/WAR/EAR, deploy, etc. to build an entire project. The supported version of Ant is 1.4. Ant supports dependencies, and incremental build.
Working with IDE Tools for Java Generation
JBuilder is a Java IDE. In PowerDesigner, you are provided with a JBuilder extended model definition (JBuilder.xem) that allows you to create, deploy and debug EJBs, Servlets, and JSPs. The supported version of JBuilder Enterprise is version 7.
