SCA-PatterBox is a design pattern editor for SCA-java service-oriented applications. It is an extension of the existing Eclipse plug-in PatternBox www.patternbox.com/.

This release directory contains the extension source files only. We extended the existing Eclipse-plugin PatternBox by modifying the grammar module "templates.dtd" within the PatternBox directory "template.java" to allow the use of Java annotations for SCA into the code
templates, and the source code of PatternBox to generate Java code from the pattern code
templates with the appropriate annotations for SCA.

DOWNLOAD:

Download the plugin PatternBox www.patternbox.com/ (src files) first and unzip it. Then replace the PatternBox directories "template.java" and "pattern.mf", and the Java files "CodeTemplateXmlHandler.java" and "MemberCodeGenerator.java" with the ones provided within this release directory of SCA-PatternBox. Compile all and copy the binary files into the Eclipse folder called "plugins".


Finally, restart Eclipse to make the plugin available.
