Acceleo Description

Acceleo is a free and useful OpenSource code generator designed to implement the MDA approach and to improve software development productivity. Combined with the Model Driven Architecture approach (MDA), Acceleo is currently the most powerful code generator tool of its generation for Model Driven Development (MDD) and Model Driven Engineering (MDE). Acceleo is the result of several man-years of R&D started in the French company Obeo. It is based on the latest research advances and industrial best practices and offers outstanding advantages : -High customizability -Interoperability -Easy kick off -Traceability management Main features: Integration within eclipse: Acceleo is natively integrated with eclipse. It is completely merged with its interface for better efficiency and user experience. Development cycle management: Aiming at 100% code generation is not always the most efficient choice. Hand-coding is often faster and more maintainable than modeling. Acceleo deals with incremental generation, by defining specific coding zones with user tags. These zones are conserved when generating again. Ability to cope with high level abstract models: Given a simple modelled class, it becomes easy to generate several files, such as XML files, Java classes, web service descriptors... We name this "asymmetric generation". Efficient syntax: Acceleo syntax is designed to guarantee full visibility on the technical generated implementation. It is the result of many years of experience with template generation technologies and provides peerless efficiency, maintainability and ability to evolve for modules Interoperability: Acceleo is based on the main industry standards to guarantee high level compatibility, interoperability and durability.
