Object languages
An object language contains specifications for a particular language. It
provides PowerDesigner with the syntax and guidelines for implementing
stereotypes, data types, scripts and constants for an object language.
Every OOM is attached by default to an object language. When you create a
new OOM, you choose an object language.
The definition for an object language can be edited from its property sheet, in
which you can select and configure parameters that are used when defining
objects or generating from an OOM.
You can attach only one particular object language to an OOM.
Types of object language
You can associate the following standard object languages to an OOM:
