Adding JDO Support

PowerDesigner uses a JDO profile (Extended Model Definition) to generate JDO files.

A profile uses the extension mechanism to add additional features in PowerDesigner such as extended attributes, custom symbols, and code generation templates.

The JDO profile defines:


  • Extended attributes

  • Standard JDO persistence descriptor templates

  • JDO products extensions

  • Ant tasks

  1. Verify that the current model has the target language Java.
  2. Select Model > Extended Model Definitions .
  3. In the List of Extended Model Definitions, click on the Import tool

  4. Select Java Data Objects (JDO) from the list and click OK.
