What we create (1) Plex component model

What we create (2) Plex Implementation model

Key Features Process features § Enables modeling and application generation in the same development cycle § Narrows the gap between design and development § Enables abstraction design during the modeling process Technical features § Export/Import UML XMI 1. 1/1. 2 standards § Flexible Bridge-repository § Component and entity representation into Plex § 100% code generating for EJB, . NET or Com components out of UML definitions § Supports Plex v 5. x onwards. § Support UML tool of choice
