Teaching Demeter 2003:
======================

There are no restrictions in using the software at universities. 
The software is at:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/software/docs/

I suggest that you use the approach I use in
COM 1205
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/com1205/w01/
and
COM 3360
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/com3360.html
: I start with
DJ
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DJ/
which is easy to learn and is 100% Java and I introduce DemeterJ
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DemeterJava/
to get the benefits
of Java Data Binding Technology similar to JAXB
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb/
but more powerful because it is not just for mark-up languages.

More of DemeterJ is introduced to use the many useful visitor classes
generated by
DemeterJ. For example, to define a print method, we write:
A {
  void print() to * (PrintVisitor);
  }
which says: from A go everywhere and print information as defined in the
generated PrintVisitor.

You are free to reuse my homework or course material: It also contains
reading material all available on the web.

We are in the process of integrating DemeterJ into AspectJ:
