Class AppBuilder

java.lang.Object
  org.jaffa.tools.patternmetaengine.AppBuilder

public class AppBuilder

extends Object

This is the core utility that will generate a complete CRUD application from a domain object model.

1. . The process is as follows, all domain object are read in from the list of domain object paths.
2. . The app builder descriptor list the modules that should be generated.
3. . The first pass at building the components will build each component type for all modules.
4. . Currently this means all finders, the viewers, then maintenace, then lookups. (This order is controlled by the static variables, so it can be changed later)
5. . A second pass though all the components will be made in the above sequence. This second pass is used to link components together that were generated in the inital pass.
6. . All component meta data files will then be written out.

Note: During both passes for each module, the label will be updated, if required
