Java Source Code Static Check Eclipse Plug-In Based on Common Design Pattern

A geração automática de código-fonte é uma prática adotada no desenvolvimento de softwares para agilizar, facilitar e padronizar a implementação dos projetos. Embora seja uma prática comum nas fábricas de software, não se conhece uma ferramenta que permita escolher o padrão de projeto a ser usado. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é apresentar um gerador de códigos para o desenvolvimento de sistemas Web a partir de uma modelagem entidade-relacionamento, uma linguagem de programação e um padrão de projeto determinados pelo usuário. Os objetivos específicos são propor uma arquitetura do sistema capaz de adequar e reaproveitar diferentes padrões de projeto, linguagens de programação e projetos cadastrados; permitir que o usuário cadastre, altere, exclua, importe e exporte um projeto; e gerar automaticamente o seu código-fonte e scripts de banco de dados. Este trabalho se justifica pela importância de reduzir erros de codificação; e evitar perca tempo ao realizar atividades rotineiras de implementação de padrões de projeto. Possibilitando assim, maior dedicação no planejamento das regras de negócios e redução de custos. A ferramenta proposta (GCER) foi desenvolvida em linguagem Java com o uso banco de dados Oracle 11g, e seguindo os padrões DAO e MVC. Os resultados foram avaliados através da geração e compilação de códigos de um projeto para cadastro de veículos. A geração com êxito evidencia a viabilidade da ferramenta proposta para a geração automática de códigos no processo de desenvolvimento de software.AbstractThe automatic generation of source code is a practice adopted in the development of software to streamline, facilitate and standardize the implementation of projects. Although it be a common practice in software factories, it is not known a tool able to choose the design pattern to be used. The main objective of this paper is to present a code generator for the development of Web systems from an entity-relationship modeling, a programming language and a design pattern determined by the user. The specific objectives are to propose a system architecture able to suit and reuse different design patterns, programming languages and saved projects; allow the user to insert, update, delete, import and export a project; and automatically generate the source code and database scripts. This work is justified by the importance to reduce errors of coding; and to avoid waste of time in the development of Web systems performing routine tasks. Allowing, then, a greater dedication in the planning of business rules and the reduction of costs. The tool proposed (GCER) was developed in Java with the database using Oracle 11g, and following the DAO and MVC patterns. The results were evaluated by generating and compiling codes of a project for vehicle registration. The successful code generation demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed tool for the automatic generation of code in the software development process.

Design patterns are generic solutions to common programming problems. Design patterns represent a typical example of design reuse. However, implementing design patterns can lead to several problems, such as programming overhead and traceability. Existing research introduced several approaches to alleviate the implementation issues of design patterns. Nevertheless, existing approaches pose different implementation restrictions and require programmers to be aware of how design patterns should be implemented. Such approaches make the source code more prone to faults and defects. In addition, existing design pattern implementation approaches limit programmers to apply specific scenarios of design patterns (e.g. class-level), while other approaches require scattering implementation code snippets throughout the program. Such restrictions negatively impact understanding, tracing, or reusing design patterns. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to support the implementation of software design patterns as an extensible Java compiler. Our approach allows developers to use concise, easy-to-use language constructs to apply design patterns in their code. In addition, our approach allows the application of design patterns in different scenarios. We illustrate our approach using three commonly used design patterns, namely Singleton, Observer and Decorator. We show, through illustrative examples, how our design pattern constructs can significantly simplify implementing design patterns in a flexible, reusable and traceable manner. Moreover, our design pattern constructs allow class-level and instance-level implementations of design patterns.
