NetBeans UML Modeling Module - Visual Paradigm SDE 3.0(20050624e) released

Visual Paradigm Smart Development Environment 3.0 for NetBeans/ Sun™ One (SDE-NB) is a UML modeling plug-in for NetBeans supporting model-driven development.

SDE-NB provides a unified modeling environment with NetBeans, not only the facilities of analysis such as Textual Analysis, Domain Analysis, Use Case Modeling and CRC Card Support, but also the modeling features such as a series of UML diagrams which truly conform to the latest UML 2.0 notations. SDE-NB also provides the full round-trip code generation and code reverse engineering functions. SDE-NB being integrated to NetBeans reduces the efforts in all phases of the software development life cycle.

SDE-NB also supports Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) and EJB Development which supports the synchronization between object model, data model and relational model, the generation of database and Java code including POJO class and Enterprise JavaBeans for software development.

Visual Paradigm is pleased to announce that Smart Development Environment (SDE) 3.0 for NetBeans/ Sun™ One has been released which has numerous enhancements with new features.

What's new in SDE-NB 3.0?

+ Enhanced Smart Resources
Resource-Centric interface enables the valid editing resources listed around the diagram elements supporting the creation of UML diagram easily by using a few mouse clicks. Smart Resource becomes even smarter by grouping resources of similar nature together to minimize the number of visible resources simultaneously.

+ Enhanced XMI Import/Export to support UML 2.0
The import and export of XMI is enhanced to support XMI 1.2, UML 2.0 compliant model and diagrams can be imported and exported to/from SDE.

+ Use Case Details Editor
SDE-NB 3.0 provides an all-in-one environment for use case modeling, including general model specification, multiple use case description with rich-text editing, sub-diagrams manipulation and preview.

+ EJB Diagram Support
EJB diagram is provided for user to model their EJB systems so as to support the generation of Enterprise JavaBeans for EJB development.

+ EJB Code Generation and Deployment
SDE-NB simplifies the powerful but complicated EJB development by generating beans based on the EJB model defined by user.

+ Customizable SQL
SDE-NB generates ready-to-use SQL statements which are capable of manipulating the database. Customization of the ready-to-use SQL statements is allowed and you are allowed to override the generated SQL statements whenever you want to.

+ Advanced ORM Features
SDE-NB promotes mapping one class to multiple tables which optimizes the size of database and minimizes the number of generated classes for system implementation.
