Hi,
as we know, creating flex applications based on Cairngorm takes much
time that could be saved by creating some automatic wizards to generate
our Value Objects, Commands, Business Delegates, etc. I've been
researching about this subject, and there are already some tools that
helps much, like cairngen (http://www.ericfeminella.com/blog/cairngen/),
the recent but great cairngorm creator
(http://tylerbeck.com/archives/23/introducing-cairngorm-creator/), and
the soon to be released Flex Builder Enterprise Plugin
(http://blog.thinkingdigital.org/?p=10).
The thing is that these tools helps much when creating a project from
zero. The reality is that requirements change, and in long term projects
there is the need to constantly add new value objects, new models,
change fields, etc to the project. It seems to me (but i may be wrong)
that none of these tools can inspect existing classes and have the
possibility to change them on the right places.
I want to see how hard it is to create something like this for a small
example - for example, using a wizard to create/change a VO, that will
generate the server and client-side code - on Eclipse.
My questions are:
1- Is there any tool for making what i need?
2- Which solution do you recomend to build something like this? I read
somewhere that EclipseWork might be useful for something like this... do
you think it's a good choice, or is there a better solution?
Thanks,
João Saleiro
