The Beanynizer is a plugin for the widely used ontology development environment Protégé™ and allows to generate JavaBeans and a JADE™ ontology file from a modelled ontology. It is very similar to the well known beangenerator plugin™ by Acklin but offers some more flexibility regarding the generated code.
The description of the installation process assumes that you have successfully
downloaded and installed Protégé™ 2.1 (or later). The
installation of the plugin is simple. Extract the plugin.zip
file from the beanynizer distribution into the
protege/plugins
directory. Make sure to use the “Use
folder names” option (or similar) of your zip tool, such that a
subdirectory protege/plugins/jadex.tools.beanynizer
is
automatically created. (You can also create this directory by hand before unzipping. In
the end you should have a jadex_beanynizer.jar
, a plugin.properties
file,
and some additional jar files in this directory.) Now you can start
Protégé™ as usual. The → menu should contain an entry .
Selecting this entry will just take you to the Jadex homepage. For the usage of the
plugin see the next sections.
