The Bosco Project - A JMI-Compliant Template-based Code Generator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bosco is a code generation tool, which goal is to accept any MOF model as parameter and follow the evolution of OMG standards. It generates the underlying model (also called repository) for any modeling language expressed in MOF. In other words, it reads XMI files and generates the corresponding source code, in different object-oriented languages (Java, Eiffel, Python, C++). In the case of Java, the generated code implements the JMI specification. In Bosco, any user can program add-ins at each level using the visitor pattern and the template technology.

Leveraging UML Profiles to Generate Plugins From Visual Model Transformations
Model transformation is a fundamental technology in the MDA. Therefore, model transformations should be treated as first class entities, that is, models. One could use the metamodel of SDM, a graph based object transformation language, as the metamodel of such transformation models. However, there are two problems associated with this. First, SDM has a non-standardized metamodel, meaning a spec...
متن کاملTUnit - Unit Testing For Template-based Code Generators
Template-based code generator development as part of model-driven development (MDD) demands for strong mechanisms and tools that support developers to improve robustness, i.e., the desired code is generated for the specified inputs. Although different testing methods have been proposed, a method for testing only parts of template-based code generators that can be employed in the early stage of ...
متن کاملTechniques Enabling Generator Refactoring
This paper presents our approach to use refactoring techniques together with code generation. Refactoring is particularly useful if not only the generated classes but also the generator itself can be adapted in an automatic fashion. We have developed a simple demonstration prototype to illustrate this. The demonstration is based on a special technique where the template for the code generation ...
متن کاملTechniques for Lightweight Generator Refactoring
This paper presents an exercise to facilitate refactoring techniques not only on generated code, but also on generator templates by reusing existing refactoring techniques from the target language. Refactoring is particularly useful if not only the generated classes but also the template defining the result of the code generator can be adapted in a uniform treatment. We describe a simple demons...
متن کاملAn Approach to the Improvement of Software Development Process with use of Template Generator
There comes a time where developed software becomes obsolete and needs a change. The normal life cycle suggest that the next steps in software development would be planning, building and revising, which is not a problem for well-structured projects with clear hierarchy. But life cycle of small and medium applications, which are still very useful and needed, but were developed prior to wide usag...
