Chapter 3 Getting Started with the PowerDesigner Eclipse Plugin
The main PowerDesigner window contains the following components.
The Model Explorer pane allows you to manage the objects you use to perform a modeling task. It displays your models and the objects belonging to them in a tree view, and allows you to rapidly navigate between them. The Model Explorer also has a tab that gives you access to a PowerDesigner repository, where you can store all your models and associated files.
The Navigator view displays a tree view of all the resource files attached to Eclipse projects open in the workbench window. These resource files can be model files, diagram files, source code files, specification files, or any type of file. You can use the Navigator to open models, create new projects and models, or even open object property sheets.
The editor area is the primary pane that displays your present model diagram or report outline.
The Modeling Output shows the progress of any PowerDesigner process, such as checking a model or generating or reverse engineering a database.
The Modeling Result List displays the results of a search or a model check.
