Feature Request: Enum Handling
« on: May 15, 2002, 02:40:11 pm »
Maybe I have overlooked this, but....

It appears to me that EA has no dedicated handling for enums, which is, however, of some importance. I kindly request the consderation of the following features:

1. In Logical Diagrams (this is the more urgent part):
   According to UML 1.4, an Enum should be represented as a
   classifier with a name and the stereotype <<enumeration>>
   in the top compartment. In the middle compartment a an
   orderedlist of literals, one on a line, representing the values.
   The literals have no type, visibility, etc.

2. Code Generation/Import:
   Enumerations should generate the corresponding statements
   in the respective language during code generation.
   <<enumeration>> classifiers should be generated from
   corresponding statements during code import.

[An early fix for "1." would be a great help, full enum support
in the near future would be wonderful...]

Thanks in advance,

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

Enums are very high on the list of things to do. I will see what can be done over the next couple of weeks to get this one fixed. At least with diagram diaplay and forward generation.

Geoff Sparks
