1.2.2. Frame-Builder and Model-Builder

Aus Hugo Doku

Regard, that you have to distinguish between two processes:

1. Building your individual generator ("frame-builder")

The so called "frame-builder" compiles the frame classes to java classes. This classes represent the individual part of your individual generator. (This job belongs to the domain engineering.)

2. Running your individual generator ("model-builder")

Once your individual generator has been built, you call the so called "model -builder" to generate the target source code, depending on the specifications in the model files. (This job belongs to the application engineering.)

The following figure illustrates these two parts:

This figure contains a simplified visualisiation of the model-builder. In fact the model-builder reads filter settings, which determine the interpreted model files. For more details please refer to Section 1.2.4. Filters.
