Java IDE User's Guide [Part 1]

Smart Development Environment (SDE) is an UML modeling plug-in seamlessly integrated with most of the leading IDEs in the market. This user's guide will explain in detail on how to use SDE to perform UML modeling also how to perform real-time on demand round-trip code engineering.

Table of Contents

Part 1 -Working with Smart Development Environment
