Content

• Objective
• Some Golden Rules
• Development environment
• Eclipse
• Collaborative work
• Java technologies
• GUI
• Network
• Data Representation

3
Objective

• Develop in group a program that implements your
  LAS program
• Be able to make a convincing final demonstration
• This is a RE project, not a technology project!
• More technology is not a good idea
• Java is imposed, eclipse is strongly advised

4
Some (commonsense) Golden Rules

• At most ONE technology per physical module
  (validation of your physical architecture)
• Carefully choose your technology
• Technology is NOT the ultimate answer to your
  problem
• Technology specialists become module responsible
• BEWARE coders optimism only two days will be
  fine

5
IDE Eclipse

• Plugin environment
• Make utility ANT
• Build-in support for CVS

6
Collaborative work tool support CVS

• One central repository
• Every uploaded version of every file of your
  project
• Each user has its own copy of all project files
• Automated update checkout mechanisms
• Tutorial on the website

7
GUI
SWING (advised)

• Look Feel java (like ArgoUML)
• Written in java (portability! efficiency?)
• Good online tutorial
• Support for asynchronous GUI update invokeLater

SWT

• Look Feel Platform dependent (like eclipse)
• Written in native code (portability Efficiency!)
• No good online tutorial (only javadoc)

Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages

• Dynamic Website
• Like CGI scripts, but written in java
• Need to know HTML
• No built-in support for asynchronous update

8
Network
RMI Remote Method Invocation (advised)

• Higher level service (well-known paradigm)
• Need to use the RMIC compiler
• Good online tutorial

Socket

• Low level
• Not easy to use

Distributed Bus
Hidden in dynamic website
9
Data Representation
Data Base (advised if persistence needed)

• PostgresQL JDBC
• Cfr. Database course

Non-Persistent representation
Proprietary Files
