[RomaFramework-dev] Roma RAD

[Luca G. <luc...@as...>]

Many people asked to Roma Framework team to develop a sort of RAD (Rapid
Application Development). Roma is already a RAD, but what people ask is
something like a graphical IDE.

The Roma RAD idea could be as form of a Web Application itself (generated
with Roma, obviously) or Eclipse+NetBeans plugins. 

The RAD should have: 

*	UML Class Diagram to design classes with their fields/actions and
relationships with others
*	Code generation: generate empty classes starting from UML Class
Diagram
*	Supports all Roma Java5 annotations and XML Annotations (make a
field invisible, etc.)
*	Supports the download of modules from a remote site
(romaframework.org?)
*	Support for editing I18N files
*	Support for generation of CRUD (by invoking roma-console APIs)

With Roma RAD also a child could create a Ajax Web Application... 

Who can contribute to develop this tool?

If you're interested please send an email to me about this.
