ClassBuilder: an Object Oriented C++ front end

ClassBuilder is an Object Oriented C++ front end to your compiler. It lets you create, manipulate and navigate classes, class relations, class members and class methods at a high level of abstraction trough a graphical user interface. Its rich feature list includes:

• Full code generation for the defined relations and their associated find methods.
• Wizards to insert code, like iteration loops and navigation paths.
• Code syncronisation with compile environment.
• Full code generation for serializing the complete data model when used together with MFC. (The tool is build with itself and uses this feature to save to and read from file).
• Drag and drop support for many things. Adding a member to a class is just drag with holding down the Ctrl-key and then drop it on the desired class.
• Documentation generation in RTF and HTML.
• etc.

This is a demo version, it may be freely distributed as is, without modification.
