The Community for Skyway Users, Developers, and Contributors

Skyway Builder is an Eclipse-based, code generation tool for accelerating the development of Spring applications, specifically Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and Web Services. Spring provides a framework that abstracts the complexities of enterprise software, and Skyway Builder adds an even higher layer of abstraction to provide a Generation Framework for Spring.

The abstraction is accomplished by employing a metadata model to capture the specifications from the developer, which in turn drives the code generation process. For defining the specifications, Skyway Builder provides Eclipse-based tooling which includes the use of editors, wizards, and modeling artifacts. The Skyway Generation Framework then converts the metadata into generated code and Spring application artifacts.
