OrindaBuild PL/SQL Plugin for Eclipse 3.3
OrindaBuild helps you interact with Oracle by creating a Java service to call your PL/SQL procedures and SQL statements as well as access tables.
Downloading the OrindaBuild evaluation version.
The easiest way for Eclipse users to download OrindaBuild is to add this site to the "Update Sites To Visit" page:
http://www.orindasoft.com/public/ec33/site.xml
To get to the "Update Sites To Visit" page select "Help", "Software Updates", "Find and Install", "Search for new features to Install" and then add the site above as a "New Remote Site".
The other way to get OrindaBuild is to download the Windows install from the Download page. For more information on the manual install process see here.
Why Use OrindaBuild to call PL/SQL instead of Hibernate or JPublisher?
Object-Relational persistence tools like Hibernate assume that the database is nothing more than a persistence mechanism. Most real world databases are far more complicated. Working with them involves issuing elaborate and tuned SQL statements as well as calling PL/SQL procedures with multiple and complicated parameters that may include records and arrays.
OrindaBuild examines your SQL statements and PL/SQL procedures and writes the Java source files for a service that can be easily integrated with your environment. Using OrindaBuild involves minimal changes to your SQL statements and no changes to your PL/SQL.
If you need to call complicated PL/SQL procedures and SQL statements from your Java tools such as JPublisher and Hibernate force you to change your code, your IDE, your development environment, or your database schema. OrindaBuild does not place limitations of the type or order of parameters in PL/SQL procedures and happily supports records and arrays. OrindaBuild also does conventional Object/Relational persistence. OrindaBuild doesn't have a runtime engine and never needs to be used against a production database.
OrindaBuild™ can be used stand alone or as a plugin for Eclipse.
There is a Macromedia Flash presentation that shows how OrindaBuild Works.
The new Version 5.0 of OrindaBuild also creates a matching Data Access Object factory class and Web Service classes for your chosen SQL statements and PL/SQL procedures.
OrindaBuild™ is fully integrated with Eclipse 3.3.
OrindaBuild configuration files are recognized as a file type by Eclipse.
As OrindaBuild generates Java source files they are automatically added to the current Eclipse project.

OrindaBuild Eclipse 3.3 plugin manual or
