Addin and reinventing the wheel

[george b]

Hi,

I'm reasonably new to EA but I'm already finding I want to do some things to make my life easier but it can't. I've looked through the fora, tried the links to other sites but I can't see anywhere other than here for Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools.

I've now started to create a couple of things to meet my needs and was wondering if they've already been created? Initially I'll create stand alone then may migrate to Adddin.

briefly...
update data model / Package from external source data, currently thinking off something like XXX=YYYY in the attribute/object Notes.
using text/csv/xml sources e.g. parse Hibernate map files and amend both data model and/or class package attributes to indicate usage -

Compare and generate diff file, maybe update options for...
 data model to database schema via ODBC
 data model to another data model

any comments, suggestions?

Regards
George
