Overview

Sculptor is a simple and powerful code generation platform, which provides a quick start to Model Driven Software Development (MDSD). When using Sculptor you can focus on the business domain, instead of technical details. You can use the concepts from Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in the textual Domain Specific Language (DSL). E.g. Service, Module, Entity, Value Object, Repository...

From the textual DSL Sculptor generates high quality Java code and configuration using openArchitectureWare (oAW). The generated code is based on well-known frameworks, such as Spring Framework, Spring Web Flow, JSF, Hibernate and Java EE.

Within 15 minutes you can go from scratch to a running application, including build scripts, Eclipse projects, domain model, Hibernate persistence, services, Web Flow application and much more. Thereafter you can continue by evolving the design, add manual code and regenerate, i.e. it is not a one-shot generation.

Sculptor is not an one-size-fits-all product. Even though it is a good start for many systems, sooner or later customization is always needed. Sculptor is designed and documented with this in mind. The generated result can easily be modified to meet your needs.
