SMC - The State Machine Compiler v. 4.1.0 Requires: Java 1.4.1 SE (Standard Edition) or better. Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smc Home Page: http://smc.sourceforge.net ================================================================= What's New? ================================================================= + Added a "%access" keyword which sets the generated context class' accessibility level. This level is used when generating Java and C# code and ignored for all other target languages. ================================================================= Bug fixes ================================================================= + (Java) The previous release set the context class' accessibility level to package if the %package was specified. This was a mistake. The %access keyword now solves this problem. ================================================================= What is SMC? ================================================================= SMC takes a state machine description (stored in a .sm file) and generates State pattern classes in a target language (C++, Java, Tcl, VB.Net, C# and Python are currently supported). SMC is a console-based app written in Java which means SMC can run anywhere Java (1.4.1 or better) can run. The download package includes an example directory showing how SMC can used with C++, Java, Tcl (requires [incr Tcl] package), VB.Net, C# and Python. The examples range from trivial to GUI apps. ================================================================= How can I learn more? ================================================================= At http://smc.sourceforge.net.
