General information

Abstract

My1App is an OSBP application created purely from models, based on the OS.bee Software Factory.

If you want to have a basis on which you can explore OS.bee, this is a good starting point. You can try to modify models and see the resulting changes. The models show everything from persistence up to the UI and demonstrate a lot of the stunning features and simplicity of MDSD (Model-Driven Software Development) with OS.bee.

In this introduction, you will find the system requirements for running the app, the steps needed to generate the app, how to start the app and tips for configuring the app.

License information

The OS.bee Software Factory is distributed under a commercial license.

The product itself is based on the OSBP Software Factory which is an Eclipse project. In addition, the software depends on several other open source projects, and the entire list of licenses used can be found here.

Requirements

Please install the OS.bee Software Factory first. Instructions for the installation can be found here.
