Automatic detection of class associations

[RainerQ]

Hi,

as a newbie to EA I currently wonder how to get EA to recoginze a class relation.

I have two classes (C#)
- Machine
- MachineCtrl

MachineCtrl has a attribute "machineList" of type "List<Machine>"
I created a class diagram and placed the MachineCtrl on it. Then I dragged the Machine class to the diagram, but EA did not recoginize the relation automatically.

What must I do to let EA recognize this automatically?

Thanks for help.

Regards
Rainer

Wait for Sparx to implement recognising generics in their reverse engineering process I'm afraid.
You can always increase the pressure by sending them a feature request. (I believe you are not the first)

is there any solution for this?

i face the same problem with Java.

You must be using another product then  
Have you ever compared the prices of EA with those of say IBM's rational suite?

Seriously, the price of one license is about a third of the average daily costprice of an analyst, you can hardly call that expensive can you?

~300$ per developer for a tool that does not do its job for something basic as generics in Java. its a lot.

generics in Java were introduced in 2004!! JDK1.5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java)
E.A. team should had enough time to fix this bug by now... don't you think?
