3 way compare and merge
« on: September 30, 2009, 06:41:59 pm »

Let me ask a smaller question instead.

I played with the compare tool and I see only 2-way compare. Is there a way to do 3-way compare with EA?
Is it possible to compare 2 versions of a branch (in version management terms) of a model and merge into another branch with functionality available in EA? I am just wondering - is this how it is or I am missing some twist?

Thanks,
Alex.

Alex,

I'm afraid not. I think EA was not designed to handle parallel development and everything that comes with that.

I've lamented this as well:

It would be nice if Sparx would look at the development model used in things like Linux, and make EA a bit more friendly to that - like by supporting GIT.
