Clear Data Builder 3.0 is Free Now
Popular Flex-Java code generator becomes available free of charge

Clear Data Builder, the code generator for Flex-Java-DBMS
Web applications will become available free
of charge.
Originally, Farata Systems has released Clear Data Builder (CDB) as a
command-line open source code generator a.k.a. DaoFlex. We’ve submitted it to
Adobe Flex component exchange about two years ago, and it quickly became one of
the most downloadable components.
Its next incarnation was a commercial
plugin CDB 1.1 for Flex 2.
The upcoming release of CDB 3.0 plugin
becomes yet another contribution of Farata Systems to Flex
community.
This version is a substantial redesign – now it’s based on
Eclipse JEE IDE, works with Flex Builder 3, supports code generation for LCDS,
BlazeDS and OpenAMF, includes templates to generate AdvancedDataGrid and more.
We’ve updated CDB documentation and uploaded the Beta version CDB at www.myflex.org .
I’ll be demoing CDB 3 Beta during the public Flex 3 training that I’ll
run in New York City next week.
We’d appreciate all your feedback and bug
reports. Over the Summer, we are going to turn all our components into freely
available products.
