Interface Cartridge

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Cartridge
A Cartridge is a set of Generators on a Model that is responsible for generating a certain set of classes. This set typically implements a abstract functionality. For example a Cartridge can implement the generation of Entity-Classes along with it's DDL. Another Cartridge can implement a REST-Controller for some of these Entities.
