Reverse engineering
« on: April 10, 2006, 08:27:27 am »
Dear fellows,

I am using Enterprise Architect for some time now in a team, that consists of about 10 members.

To design the (java-)software we partially use forward-engineering. The eventual elaboration is done in the source code, and is to be reverse engineered from the code to the previously designed diagrams.

For each member of the team, the source code is located differently on the local hard disk. In Enterprise Architect it is not possible to change the path to/from which is to be engineered.

Problem is that code reverse engineered by team member A cannot be reverse engineered by team member B. The path doesnot correspond.

Any suggestions?

Erwin

Maybe you should read what help tells about "local path dialog"?

Thomas is right, this is the situation that local paths in EA were created for.  You can find the help at http://www.sparxsystems.com/EAUserGuide/index.html?localpaths.htm

Hi Erwin,

although engaging EA all my own, your versioning software could supply a master directory from which your users may refresh their version within their working folders.

Cheers
