You can extend the functions of the Rational® Programming Patterns Software
Development Kit.
You can create the following customized components:
- Micropatterns to generate code lines.
- Patterns, which constitute complete sets, to generate a code other
than the COBOL code (Java for example). These new patterns do not
necessarily conform to the Skeleton-based generation of the Rational Programming Patterns Software
Development Kit.
- Quality control rules that target the Software Development Kit
design entities or generated source code (other than the COBOL code).
To create your own micropattern, pattern, or quality control rule,
you must create a plug-in. Then, to deploy this new component, you
must create an update site that you will use to install it on the
developers workstations.
