Jamda is a framework for building model compilers (or code generators) for use in development that follows the OMG's Model Driven Architecture approach. It is also the basis for a library of reusable model compiler components. A Jamda model compiler takes as input a UML model of the core business classes, and transforms it into any system that the developer has extended and configured it to create. The developer will usually write code for the application-specific business logic, which can be merged into the generated application. In a typical application, it is expected that the developer-written code would be around 20% of the total.
The simple answer is: it can you save you a huge amount of time! A Jamda model compiler can automatically generate most of the code for you in a typical application, saving you the weeks or months it would have taken to write and debug that code.
But as well as saving time, a Jamda model compiler will:
And because Jamda is a framework rather than a fixed code generator, you can tailor it to produce the exact architecture that your system needs .
