Lattix LDM NetBeans Plugin
The Power of Lightweight Dependency Models within NetBeans
With this NetBeans Pugin, Lattix further extends the developers’ capabilities to visualize and maintain the architecture during application development by delivering the power of Lightweight Dependency Models (LDM) to formalize, communicate and control the architecture of NetBeans projects.
"This is a lovely tool for data-mining the hair-ball that every large system becomes. It intuitively lets you sort through the maze to disentangle even the worst results of system evolution".
James Gosling
Sun Fellow and inventor of Java
Features
In addition to the Lattix LDM key features, the NetBeans Plugin has these unique capabilities:
- Map architecture to actual code : Seamlessly go from the big picture to the detail. Select a subsystem and examine the code associated with its dependencies.
- Test architecture and detect architectural violations while coding: Maintain the architecture during actual development and prevent architectural erosion.
- Refactor architecture: Combine architectural remediation suggested by Lattix LDM with NetBeans' refactoring capabilities in order to decouple subsystems, remove unwanted dependencies and rename subsystems so that the code organization reflects the intended architecture.
