Main Session - Development Automation with JET
Speaker:
Brad Bouldin is an consulting e-commerce architect for Fortune-1000 companies, now specializing in IBM WebSphere products, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0 technologies. He is active in the Semantic Web group in Austin TX, and is a founding member of the not-for-profit Cyc Foundation for Computable Common Sense where he contributed to projects such as the OpenCyc-to-Wikipedia Linking Project, the Cyclopedia browser, and assists with related ontology projects such as UMBEL. Brad previously worked in the WebSphere lab services group at IBM, where he co-created a new software development method for dramatically improving development speed, governance, and software quality, which leverages the freely-available Eclipse JET technology.
Abstract:
Brad will present on Model Driven Development using JET (part of the Eclipse platform's Model-To-Text project). Using Eclipse, developers can create "JET transformations" which are code generation modules that accelerate the development process, while still allowing the generated code to be edited (and safely re-generated as well). JET transformations can capture the "best practices" of experts, and can ensure that a project consistently employs these practices. JET can help automate the production of a wide range of development artifacts including code, test cases, deployment descriptors, properties files, graphs, documentation, spreadsheets, and more.
