Can I use Java Eclipse to build EA-adds on ?

[Michael]

I am asking if it is possible to build extensions for EA using java eclipse ?
if so, could someone give me a tutorial for that ?

You can't write add-ins with Java.

Thanks Simon for replaying ,

but I have found something here : http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/10/automation_and_scripting/setup.html

see java section.
Thank you

You can write an external automation client in Java (which is what that page demonstrates), but you can't write an EA add-in with Java or connect to a running instance of EA.

OK, thank you, so you mean we can not add plug-in that used by EA itself during EA run-time ?

That is clear , thanks

Michael,

I would recommend to use C# (which is basically an MS rip-off of Java)
See Create your first C# Enterprise Architect add-in in 10 minues for a quick tutorial.
