Visual Paradigm Announces Smart Development Environment 3.0 for NetBeans/Sun One

Also Supports Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) and EJB Development

Visual Paradigm is pleased to announce that Smart Development Environment (SDE) 3.0 for NetBeans/Sun One has been released - with numerous enhancements with new features such as a series of UML diagrams which truly conform to the latest UML 2.0 notations.

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 and provides a unified modeling environment with NetBeans: allowing for Textual Analysis, Domain Analysis, Use Case Modeling and CRC Card Support.

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.

What's new in SDE-NB 3.0?

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Other features:

  • Code generation from Class Diagram
  • Reverse Engineering UML Diagram from Java Source code
  • Support of Use Case Scheduling
  • Support of Rose Project import
  • Modeling with Visio stencils
  • HTML Report Generation
  • PDF Report Generation
  • Report Writer
  • Modeling with Visio Stencil> Support of Textual Analysis
  • Support of CRC Card

Free evaluation is available for 30 days. You can get an evaluation copy and install SDE-NB from Visual Paradigm Suite.

Just found out that there's gonna be a NetBeans day before Java China on 12th September 2005 - a similar event like before this year's Java One. Entrance is again for free (not sure what will be the presents this time). If you're going to Java China, I recommend to visit this event, I'm sure there will be more info on netbeans.org soon.
