all things jMDA: October 2013

Welcome to jMDA

To generate software automatically has been a strong ambition since the early days of software development.

jMDA is a new approach in this area. It streamlines proven, widely known and accepted open source technologies into a most comprehensible and easy to use set of Java libraries that are extremely powerful and flexible at the same time. The main purpose of jMDA is

to leverage a comprehensible and easy to use modelling environment,
to provide convenient and complete access to modelling information and
to make available easy to use software generator facilities.

The introduction will briefly explain the main drivers behind this project, the jMDA book provides more detailed information about the most important concepts and the open source software is available here.

noDSL! – domain modelling with Java and software generation with jMDA

This article introduces many of the most important concepts of jMDA in a concise example. It demonstrates how domain modelling, domain model access and code generation can be covered in a single and very comprehensive Java source code file. jMDA offers all this in a straight forward manner: no proprietary DSL has to be defined, no IDE plugins are necessary.
