Reverse Engineering and associated Templates

[sbarkeruk]

I am trying to understand how the reverse engineering process works with EA. Are templates always used or is a lot of work done in the underlying code instead?

In other words, can I change most of the functionality for importing projects or not (as I can with Code Generation)? If so, which is the main Template(s) that is used?

Do you have a flow chart (or UML diagram) that would show the import process and how the Templates work  with this?

The reason I ask is that I would like to try out a number of things, the main one being to see if I can get EA to look for *.vbp (VB6 project) files and add these as a component (with stereotype StandardExe, ActiveX Exe, ActiveX DLL, etc) in a the component view (so that I can match the functionality to that of your competitors). This would be most useful to me, and I'm sure many other developers too.

There aren't currently any 'import templates', we are working on a grammar based solution, but haven't released it yet.
