Synchronize own language
« on: March 05, 2009, 03:46:33 am »
Hi there again,

today we are trying to synchronize a language we have written by ourselves.

For example some XML dialect (like NHibernate Mapping File)

The Problem is that the generated file is always overwritten when we add some own lines.

How can we tell EA to leave the own parts of the files untouched. Maybe something like a Section?

Is there a Possibility?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I'm afraid that it's not possible to have fully synchronized roundtrips for any languages that aren't supported natively by EA. Despite you can write templates to generate code for any language you want, synchronization with changes made in the generated code, require that EA is able to parse the code and map it back to the model.
May be it is possible to develop an MDG AddIn that supports reverse engineering of your language, but how to do this in detail you should get from EA help. I actually don't have any experience with this (yet).
