bluej-extensions-patterncoder

A Design Patterns Extension

Provides a wizard which guides the user through the process of adding a Design Pattern or binary class relationship to a BlueJ project. The user can select a pattern or relationship and choose specific names for the component classes. A set of basic classes are then generated. The classes have sufficient code out-of-the-box to allow exploration of the behaviour with no additional coding. They can then be edited to meet the requirements of specific problems. A selection of patterns and relationships is provided, and other patterns can be defined using XML files and added into the extension.
