Reverse Engineering Question

[pcleary]

I am reverse engineering from a large project with hundreds of class files.  When I reverese engineer, the diagrams come in, and classes are created, but I cannot view / edit the source code.  Do I have to manually go through each class and associate it with the source code?  Is there some other way to do this?

I guess the idea is that now that I have the model reverse-engineered, that I can add a few classes and do my work there, then synchronize with the code, rather than forward engineering.  I maybe could also add a few methods to an existing class, and forward engineer as well.

Please let me know,as I am in the process of setting up our EAP for our project team.

Thanks,
Paul

Hiya,

Hope I can help, if you used the Project > Source Code Engineering > Import Directory Structure you should be fine, EA will remember the pathname which you can modify from the properties panel of each class, however I have only done this with VBNET and C#, I can not say the same for any other language.

Once you have imported your structure you can then add methods, draw in missing associations, etc.

You should then be able to synchronise your model with existing code and it will add new methods etc.

Lovely program! be sure to experiment with it before applying to a mission critical solution.

Best regards
