Chapter 5 Creating Borland JBuilder Project Files

Introduction

PowerDesigner supports many features for J2EE applications like Object/Relational mapping (O/R mapping), generation of Web Service artifacts, Enterprise JavaBeanTM (EJBTM), Servlets and JSPs, compiling and deployment of J2EE applications directly from PowerDesigner.

But many developers need to write code, compile, deploy and debug using an IDE like JBuilder or a build utility like Ant.

PowerDesigner generates a JBuilder project file when you generate Java code. It allows you to use JBuilder to edit code, compile, deploy and debug. It greatly simplifies the integration between PowerDesigner, JBuilder and application servers.

This chapter explains how to use PowerDesigner to generate a JBuilder project file.
