Building Applications with jbuilder - Borland
Borland's ALM (Application Lifecycle Management)
Creating and managing projectsJBuilder does everything within the context of a project. As used in this documentation, the term project includes all the files within a user-defined body of work, the directory structure those files reside in, and the paths, settings, and Resources Required.
The project is an organizational tool, not a repository. This means that files in a project can be in any folder. Restructuring a project tree has no effect on your directory tree. This gives you independent control of projects and directory structure.
Each project is administered by a project file. The project files name is the name of the project with a jpx extension. The project file contains a list of files in the project and maintains the project properties, which include default paths, class libraries, and connection configurations. JBuilder uses this information when you load, save, build, or run a project. Project files are modified whenever you use the JBuilder development environment to add or remove files or set or change project properties. you can see the project file as A Node in the project Pane.

Compiling Java programsA Java compiler reads Java source files and produces the Java program in the form of .class files containing bytecodes that are the machine code for the Java Virtual Machine (VM). Compiling produces a separate .class file for each class and interface declaration in a source file. When you run the resulting Java program on a particular platform, such as Windows NT, the Java interpreter for that platform runs the bytecodes contained in the .class files. for general information about compiling in Java, see the Java Development Kit (JDK) compiler overview, see javac - The Java programming language compiler in the Java SDK Tools and Utilities.The default compiler for the JBuilder IDE, Borland Make for Java (bmj), has full support for the Java language Borland Make uses.

Java and UML
Because Java and UML are object-oriented and platform-independent, they work well together. UML, a valuable tool in understanding Java and the complex relationships between classes and packages, assists Java developers in understanding not just a single class but the entire package. In particular, UML CAN Help Java Developers Who Are New To a Team Get Up to Speed More Quickly On The Structure and Design of The Software System.
Java and UML Terms
Although Java and UML share similar concepts, some of the terms used to label these concepts are different. UML, which is designed to describe a wide range of different scenarios, uses much broader terms to describe different relationships. Listed in the following table are definitions of Java-specific terms and the corresponding UML terms. Throughout this documentation, Java terms are used.In particular, it's important to understand the terms, dependency and association. Dependencies and associations are types of relationships that two or more classes can have to each other. Classes have a dependency when the implementation of one class can be affected by the implementation of another class. An association is a type of dependency where an object of one class can be used to navigate to an object of another class. An association is Considered to Be a stronger form of debndency. if Two classes Have Both a Dependent and Associated Relationship, The Uml Browser Only Displays The Associati ON.
Java termJava definitionUML termUML definitionInheritanceA mechanism that allows a class orinterface to be defined as aspecialization of another moregeneral class or interface. Forexample, a subclass (child) inheritsits structure and behavior, such asfields and methods, from itssuperclass (parent). Classes andinterfaces that inherit from a parentuse the extends keyword.Generalization / SpecializationA specialized to generalizedrelationship in which a specificelement incorporates the structureand behavior of a more generalelement.DependencyA using relationship in which achange to an independent objectmay affect another dependentobject.DependencyA relationship where the semanticcharacteristics of one entity relyupon and constrain the semanticcharacteristics of another entity.AssociationA specialized dependency where areference to another class is stored.Relationship (Association) A structural relationship thatdescribes links between or amongobjects.InterfaceA group of constants and methoddec larations that define the form ofa class but do not provide anyimplementation of the methods. Aninterface specifies what a classmust do but not how it gets done.Classes and interfaces thatimplement the interface use theimplements keyword.Realization / InterfaceA collection of operations used tospecify a service of a class orcomponent. States the behavior ofan abstraction without theimplementation of that behavior.MethodThe implementation of an operationwhich is defined by an interface orclass.OperationAn implementation of a service thatcan be requested by an object andcan affect that object '
s behavior.Operations are usually listed belowthe attributes in a UML diagram.FieldAn instance variable or datamember of an object.AttributeA named property of a classifier, such as a class or an interface, thatdescribes values that instances of aproperty can hold.PropertyInformation about the current stateof a component. Properties can bethought of as named attributes of acomponent that a user or programcan read (get) or write (set). In aUML diagram, a property existswhen a field name matches amethod name which is preceded byis, set, or get. For example, afield named parameterRow is aproperty if it has a method namedsetParameterRow (). AttributeA named property of a classifier, such as a class or an interface, thatdescribes values that instances of aproperty can hold.Tagged valueAn extension of the properties of AUML Element. A Tagged Valueconsists of A Tag, Which Is The Nameof A Property, And A Value. TaggedValues Display Below The Name of Asuperclass and Each Subclass Offerclams Lass.jbuilder and uml
JBuilder focuses on code visualization and UML diagramming specific to the Java language, rather than replacing the many available UML design tools. UML functionality in JBuilder allows you to visually browse packages and classes to help you better design, understand, and troubleshoot your application development process .
