Hi,

I am exploring the feasibility of a Ruby forward engineering template.

Looking at the EA documentation, to create a new language type, I need to define a type for that language. The example in the documentation used Java which has built-in type like boolean, int, float, char etc..

As a scripting language, Ruby doesn't seems to have type, how do I proceed?

Cheers

Add a dummy type

Cool!

I tried following the instruction but the UI seems different in EA 6.1

I created a new language (Ruby) with a dummy type.

I need to have an open project to add a new language. Does that mean that the new language definition is only available for that project? When I open other project, the Ruby language is not available.

The next step you describe was to import the XML file.
Where do I import it? During the new language creation or in the Code Template Editor?

I am keen to try out your templates with EA 6.1.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Right. This is per project. You can create a technology file (see the help for that) containing all profile information for Ruby. You can then import that technology into any other model.

Is there a summarize steps to do all these with respect to version 6.1.

I have downloaded the ruby code template XML file.

What are the steps required?

I have had a read of the Sparx Help Content and found detailed information about each feature but cannot distilled the actual steps required to achieve the desired outcome.

Cheers

Not sure about that, but I guess it's a technology file. You can import this via the Resource/MDG Tech. window
