Chapter 14 Working with the PowerDesigner Plugin for Eclipse

Synchronizing an OOM with its Java Source

You can synchronize an Object Oriented Model (OOM) with its Java source code, so that each time you modify the model, a source code file is automatically created (for a new object) or updated (for an existing object). Similarly, each time you modify a source code file and save the changes, they appear in the diagram and the Model Explorer.

You can activate synchronization from the Model Explorer or Navigator. A model is synchronized per package. The default package regroups all the objects at the root of the model. Once a package has been synchronized with a model, you cannot synchronize it with another model (see PowerDesigner Plugin Limitations).

Java only
Synchronize is only available for OOMs targeted with Java.
