MetaEdit+ 4.5: Complete Domain-Specific Modeling Environment
Market Leading Domain-Specific Modeling Tool Available for Mac
Jyvaskyla, Finland--July 4, 2007--MetaCase has announced the release of
MetaEdit+ 4.5, a complete domain-specific modeling (DSM) environment, for
Mac OS X operating systems. DSM with MetaEdit+ offers companies a superior
approach for effective software development, significantly increasing
overall productivity. This release follows the November 2006 launch of
MetaEdit+ 4.5 for Windows.
Unlike other modeling approaches, DSM utilizes graphical models which
illustrate a company's individual problem domain, instead of attempting to
visualize the code developers will later write. These models directly
mirror real-world objects, allowing developers to make better designs with
less effort and enabling them to generate full, production-quality code
that interfaces correctly with their existing software platforms,
frameworks, components and libraries.
