Lorini – A New education tool for learning object-oriented programming!

Real-time Java source code view

Thanks to very talented developers from University of Auckland, Astah has become much more helpful for students learning Object-oriented programming! Brian Cham and Candice Eckert developed a new plug-in for Astah called “Lorini“.

Lorini plugin adds new 2 panes to Astah. One is a real-time code view. As you draw diagrams, Java source code is generated automatically and shown in this pane. To its right, there is a feedback pane which shows error messages to show if anything has been entered incorrectly.
