1.6.1. | Can Kodo be used with Apache Ant?
| Apache Ant is a very popular build tool for Java projects. Kodo has full support for Ant by providing custom Ant tasks for all of the Kodo development tasks. See Section 15.2, “Apache Ant”.
1.6.2. | Does Kodo work my my IDE?
| Kodo has plug-ins for many popular IDEs, such as JBuilder, IBM WSAD, Eclipse, and Netbeans. For those IDEs for which Kodo does not provide a plug-in, developers can use the Apache Ant integration to participate in the build process. Most IDEs have the capability of using Ant as their build tool. See Chapter 15, Third Party Integration.
1.6.3. | Can I use XDoclet to generate my metadata?
| XDoclet is a popular tool that allows developers to embed metadata in specially-formatted source code comments. The XDoclet distribution provides a JDO doclet that enables the generation of JDO metadata files. See Section 15.3, “XDoclet”.
