I've just released version 2.1 of my free open source add-in for EA.
See :

This is how it looks now:

Hi Geert
Thanks for a great tool!

Just a minor error - right click a class Select 'to FQN' Produces an untitled dialog with text with a couple of spelling mistakes - nog = not selecte = select

[Geert Bellekens]

Graham,
To FQN feature tries to find whatever you have in your clipboard. If it can't find it it will display a message saying "Could not find item" + clipboard contents.
So the spelling mistakes are probably from the contents of your clipboard.

But you are absolutely right, this dialog can be improved (shame on me ). I'll update it in the the next couple of day's.

Hi Geert,
I just tried to install your add-in on my XP SP2. I just get the "Error - Missing" in that  loquacious  Manage Addins box.

Ahrgg, I just hate those uninformative "Error Missing" errors.
Sigh, do you have .Net 4.0 installed?
Can you try to install it again and choose repair?

Geert

No. I haven't - and honestly am not willing to do so. The less M$-bytes on my VM the better.

Too bad since it looks promising...

You can always download the code and try to build it against .Net 2.0.  
I think the only 4.0 specific thing I used was one parameter with a default value, should be easy enough to fix.

I'm sorry you feel that way about it. It's not that I'm a Microsoft fanboy, I'm just trying to be practical about it. And I have to admit that C# is in fact a decent programming language.

Graham,

I've "fixed" the FQN message and uploaded a new version to GitHub https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-Toolpack/downloads

Hello

I'm quite new to EA ( We are in the process of evaluating the product, bought one licens so far.) but i've liked what we have seen so far.

These your examples and explanations is a great extra to the ea documentation . ( The sparx documentation is good, i do not yet know how 'up to date it is' but there seems to be a lot of documentation... And that's alway nice:-)

I looked at this one and it explained a lot about add ins. We are having some small problems with tfs integratin, i have filed a bug and got some response so i have to try to be patient and wait, and i will probably test the tfs connection by using your code as starup and then do a query find to the tfs server.

Anyway, great work.

Best regards
Kaj

Hi Kaj,

Thanks, it's always nice to get positive feedback.

In general most documentation in the manual is pretty up-to-date. If you find something wrong/missing then you can report it to Sparx. I know they really invest in trying to keep their documentation up to date.

Sometimes however the documentation can be a bit shallow, there's still a lot to discover by trial and error.
