Abstract :
The APEX code generation tool for the Ada language is described. APEX provides the programmer with three different, yet consistent, graphical views of the Ada program under development. Once the graphical specification has been developed, Ada code can be generated from APEX. In addition, APEX can reverse engineer the graphical specification from existing Ada code in order to support software reuse. A brief description of the three APEX editors is given, and an illustration of each editor and the resulting code generated is provided
