Azzyzt JEE Tools 1.1.0 are available

Actually version 1.0.0 has been available since end of March, but I had not announced it. Thus 1.1.0 is the first version that's really open to the public.

As I've already mentioned in the first post, Azzyzt JEE Tools is a collection of software tools helping software developers to create software using Java Enterprise Edition 6. It is designed to be integrated into popular Java IDEs, and at the moment this means it is an Eclipse plugin.

Azzyzt JEE Tools is a set of Eclipse plugins for creating a so-called azzyzted project, and for creating code from a model. Azzyzt uses Java JPA entities as a model, and from that model it creates an enterprise application, ready to be deployed in a Java EE 6 application server like GlassFish 3.1, ready to be accessed via CORBA, SOAP and REST. Thus the generated application is a set of web services, providing all that you need in a typical CRUD application. 
Generated enterprise applications have separate source folders for generated and developer-supplied content. Add your own functionality to a well-engineered base project.
Azzyzt JEE Tools is not about user interfaces. It is expected that the generated application is accessed by a RIA frontend (Flex/Flash, Silverlight, Java FX, ...) or by a fat client.

If you just want to use Azzyzt JEE Tools (as opposed to modify and build them), the recommended way to install the software is via an Eclipse update site. As of release 1.1.0, there are two update site URLs, one for the edition used by the Municipiality of Vienna, Austria, the other a generic version. The URLs are

If you want to look into the source code, modify Azzyzt JEE Tools for your own use or if you even want to contribute, then you can fork the project from GitHub under the URL

https://github.com/amanessinger/azzyzt_jee_tools

So far the project lacks reference documentation, though a tutorial under

http://azzyzt.manessinger.com/doc/using_azzyzt.html

should give you a fairly good impression of what Azzyzt JEE Tools are about, how to get started and how to go on. The process of building/modifying the tools and of how to contribute to the code base currently lacks documentation.

All announcements of new versions will be published here on

http://www.azzyzt.org

Discussion of the architecture, of interesting details of the implementation, and in general of things I've learned in the process, will happen on my programming blog

http://programming.manessinger.com/

If you want to be kept up-to-date, I suggest that you subscribe to the feeds of both sites, azzyzt.org and programming.manessinger.com, in the feed reader of your choice.

Azzyzt JEE Tools are based on my Eclipse / GlassFish / Java EE 6 Tutorial and on a subsequent internal class that I held in October/November 2010 and that was based on the tutorial as well. The code generated by Azzyzt JEE Tools is basically a refinement of the code presented in the tutorial, with some very interesting features added.
