XDOCLET

XDoclet a very good tool for generating xml descriptors of applications, and java code which helps in managing the DRY principle of software coding.

Today there was a very good presentation on XDoclet by Craig Walls is the manager of web application development for a Dallas, Texas-based retailer, is a co-author of "XDoclet in Action" (Manning, 2003), and is a committer to the XDoclet open-source project. He has also had articles published in Java Developer's Journal and on IBM's developerWorks web-site.

Its a very good insight into the XDOCLET. Xdoclet has the facility to automate descriptor/code generation for almost every concevable technologies out the i.e EJB, WebApps, Mock Objects, Hybernate, castor, JMX, Portlets etc. I should leverage the power of this tool in developing Visual Biz-IC.
