====== PADL Creator JavaFile (Eclipse) ======

Two third-party projects provide means to create a PADL model from Java source code (instead of [[PADL Creator ClassFile|Java class files]]). Fetch the projects ''PADL Creator JavaFile (JavaC)'' or ''PADL Creator JavaFile (Eclipse)'' from the SVN and use the usual idiom:

<code>
final ICodeLevelModel padlModelFromJavaFiles =
	Factory.getInstance().createCodeLevelModel("My name");
try {
	padlModelFromJavaFiles.create(new CompleteJavaFileCreator(
		sourcePathEntry,
		classPathEntry));
}
catch (final CreationException e) {
	e.printStackTrace(ProxyConsole.getInstance().errorOutput());
}
</code>

:!: The project ''PADL Creator JavaFile (Eclipse)'' is preferred over ''PADL Creator JavaFile (JavaC)'', which is no longer maintained.

:!: The ''padl.generator.helper.ModelGenerator'' interface in project ''[[PADL Generator]]'' hides the implementation details of creating a PADL model and should be used in most of the cases.
