• Better content assist (ctrl+space)

• Support Google App Engine

• New rich client dialect of the CRUD GUI
• Upgrade to oAW 4.3.1
• Port of the DDD Sample

Version 1.4.x

Version 1.4.1

Version 1.4.1 was released October 6, 2008.

The most important features of this release:

• JSF dialect of CRUD GUI.
• Possibility to split model.design into several files.
• Upgrade to oAW 4.3
• Support for Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede. Europa 3.3.2 is also supported.

Version 1.3.x

Version 1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 was released April 11, 2008.

This release is a minor bug fix release.

Version 1.3.0

Version 1.3.0 was released March 17, 2008.

The most important feature of 1.3 is a totally new metamodel for the CRUD GUI. In version 1.1 we implemented the CRUD GUI without a separate gui metamodel. The gui generation was using the business tier model. This was a good start, but the experience was that the templates and helper extensions became rather complicated. A special purpose gui metamodel simplified the templates and moved some of the logic to a transformation instead. This is important as we see the need for different dialects of the GUI. In the initial version we are using Spring WebFlow and JSP. We have also started a JSF dialect.

More is likely to come, such as rich client (RCP). Another motivation for the gui metamodel is the possibility to customize the GUI by using a separate DSL (in next release).

Version 1.2.x

Version 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0 was released December 9, 2007.

It is a technical upgrade of several core products such as Eclipse and openArchitectureWare.

Version 1.1.x

Version 1.1.1

Version 1.1.1 was released November 26, 2007.

This release is a minor bug fix release.

Version 1.1.0

Version 1.1.0 was released November 5, 2007.

This release includes a lot of useful features:

• A complete, but customizable, CRUD Gui is generated based on the domain model specified with the Sculptor DSL. The generated web application uses Spring Web Flow to achieve navigation of the associations in the domain model.
• Scaffold simplifies generation of CRUD operations and is perfect for prototyping together with the CRUD Gui.
• It is efficient to develop the domain model with a textual DSL, but for communication purposes it is useful to have a visual UML view. Sculptor automatically generates a class diagram of the domain model. Instantly updated documentation!
• Possibility to deploy without EJBs, i.e. to run in Tomcat.

Version 1.0.x

Version 1.0.1

Version 1.0.1 was released June 28, 2007.

This release is a minor bug fix release.

Version 1.0.0

Version 1.0.0 was released May 24, 2007.

The first final version of Sculptor has been released. The textual Domain Specific Language (DSL) and the design of theg enerated code are inspired by Domain-Driven Design. When using Sculptor you can focus on the business domain, instead of technical details. Sculptor uses openArchitectureWare to parse the DSL and generate high quality Java code and configuration. The generated code is based on well-known frameworks, such as Spring, Hibernate and Java EE.
