EJOSA Revolutions Version 2.3

The Enterprise Java Open Source Architecture (EJOSA) Template was built
to help Java developers, develop J2EE projects with a low learning
curve. With little to no experience in J2EE, and a modest experience in
Java, developers were able to use the EJOSA template to create robust
and production-ready J2EE projects.

Patrice Drolet said: "I really love the concept of EJOSA. I went through
the tutorial, I modified the piggybank example (I added a donator
field). It is really great and works great in an Eclipse project and
with the integrated JOnAS app server".

Updates and New Features:
-------------------------
1)
Update to use Enhydra Enterprise 6.3.1. From now on EJOSA is
completely based on pure Enhydra Enterprise which is directly based
on JOnAS-Tomcat J2EE 1.4 certified application server.
2)
Update all the cartridges to use AndroMDA 3.0 Final. Add MTL
for model-to-model transformation in case you want to build your
own language (DSL = Domain Specific Language) for a product family.
3)
Adding MTL cartridge "ejosa-model-dsl-piggybank" for building PiggyBank
product family. An example can be found at dev-piggybank-model-dsl.
An introduction article is shortly to come.
4)
The cartridge "ejosa-model-cost-calculator" now supports Use Case Points
(UCP) Based Estimation. These are some good intro papers for UCP Based
Estimation:

Have a lot of fun!
