Package Dependencies Diagram

[daniel_jimenez]

Hi,

I am new to EA, and would like to know if it is possible to generate package dependancies diagrams by importing C++ code (or if possible by importing Borland C++ Builder bpk and bpr files). Thus. display all runtime and design time dependencies.

thank you

Hi Daniel,

AFAIK this is not possible.

:-(

When you say it is not possible, do you mean it is not possible to import code to then generate the Package Dependency diagram, or do you mean No Package Dependency diagram is currenlty available regardles. i.e even if I was to start from scratch ( no import os source code)?

Is anyone aware of any application which will display UML Depencedy Diagrams?

EA will not generate a package dependency diagram.  There's nothing that will stop you from putting your packages on a diagram and drawing dependency links between them though.

Hi Simonm,

Thank you for the explanation.  Do you know of any application which will do this after importing C++ code?

Sorry, no idea.

You could try writing an addin that iterates over the contents of different packages and creates dependency links between them.

If I was doing this I'd make it work on all packages on the current diagram to give you some control over what you want.  That's just the way I'd do it though.

Hi Simonm,

Thanks, not a bad idea, specially as I was thinking of writing a component for C++Builder, which will iterate though an application, and report (txt, xml, html) all package dependencies.

Thus, making upgrades, fixes, ect much easier to achive on mutiple applications which may span a product suite.
