    While this command might answer the question, it is usually considered good practice to add an explanation of what your answer does. This allows for developers who are not knowledgeable in this area to understand what is going on in your answer and helps them to learn how to solve the problem by them selves in the future. – Caleb Kleveter Dec 23 '17 at 22:11

Yes, just run yo jhipster:export-jdl to generate a JDL file of your current project.

    thank you , but it generated empty file with only this comment : // JDL definition for application 'jhipster' generated with command 'yo jhipster:export-jdl' – bayrem404 Mar 27 '17 at 14:01
  • OK, but did you have any entity in your project? Check if the `.jhipster` directory is empty or not – Julien Dubois Mar 27 '17 at 17:17

As you can't import the user entity again it makes no sense to me to have it exported to a jdl file.

Invoking jHipster from Yeoman has been deprecated. Please use JHipster CLI. jhipster export-jdl <<FILENAME.jdl>>.
