Activating synchronization

From the Model Explorer

You can activate the synchronization of an OOM from the Model Explorer.

To activate synchronization from the Model Explorer:

   The Synchronize dialog box is displayed.

3. Click Finish.
   
   A Java file (.java) and a compiled file (.class) appear for each object in the synchronized packages of the Navigator.
   
   
   If you double-click a Java or a compiled file, its source code is displayed in the Editor area.
   
   Note the synchronized symbol on the package icon...
   
   
   ...and the (synchronized) mention beside the model resource.
