Round-Trip Engineering Process for Java Development

By combining PowerDesigner and Ant, you have the following capabilities for round-trip engineering for Java development:

• Do high level analysis and design using PowerDesigner
• Design and create Java components in PowerDesigner
• Generate Java code and the Ant build script
• Finish the implementation of Java classes using a Java IDE or text editor
• Compile, package and deploy using Ant
• Reverse engineer the final Java code to synchronize the PowerDesigner model
