  1. Java-X Project Vision and Market Survey Summary MSWE 617 Section 9040 – Capstone Project The Class-X Team: Julian Edwards jedwards_md@hotmail.com David Gilliam arcgate11@hotmail.com Ramana Seshadri vanamalir@hotmail.com John Snyder john@snyders.us

  2. Problem to Solve • Most tools create a UML model, or a database schema, and then Java classes... • Would like to reverse the process and create a database schema from a Java class file. • Problem statement: need a tool that can create an XSD doc from a Java class file inside of the Eclipse 3.1 development environment. • Questions to answer: • Has this been done before? • Is a product available to satisfy this need? Class-X Team

  3. Market Survey • Demographics: • By 2008, 95% of the top 2000 organizations will have a formal strategy for open source software. • Open source software has been successful where the developer is the end user. • Eclipse is one of the most popular open source Java development tools • Over 175 tool vendors have been involved in providing plug-ins for Eclipse. Class-X Team

  4. Market Survey • Approach: • Internet newsgroup inquiries. • Internet searches of over 80 Web sites. • Review of 23 potential products. • Direct inquiries to product vendors. Class-X Team

  5. Market Survey • Inquiries coalesced into five candidates: • Castor, • JAXB, • JaxMe, • JBind, and • LiquidXML. Class-X Team

  6. Market Survey • Castor • Can generate Java Classes from XSD. • JAXB • Can generate Java Classes from XSD. • JaxMe • Can generate Java Classes from XSD. • JBind • Can generate Java Classes from XSD. • LiquidXML, and so on…all the same! Class-X Team

  7. Market Survey • Market Survey Conclusion: • There are currently no products available that offer the capability to generate XML Schema Definition files from Java class members inside of the Eclipse platform. • Castor is the closest to the solution space, but only if the Java class is first generated from an XSD file, which then can be modified and the process reversed.
