eclipse MDG integration MDG link EA etc.,

[moti]

I am confused about the product line. I downloaded the EA with MDG link and MDG integration and am not sure the purpose of MDG link versus MDG integration.

MDG integration appears to be just an eclipse plugin whih EA features, which can be run without an intallation of EA application. Is this right ?
Do I need to have the full EA application even if I have MDG integration ?

MDG link appears to be a way to connect two running apps - one EA and one eclipse. Is this right ?

I want to be able to create models from my source code + some jars without source code. And make changes to the model and go back and forth from code to model and vice versa. Is this possible ?

There is no north american support contact number to help me with this ? I tried to call a couple of numbers listed ie., resellers but no one answered. If this product is serious about being in the US space they should at least have one phone number to answer evaluation questions!

MDG Integration still requires EA to be installed, but it allows you to use EA from within Eclipse.  You are essentially right about MDG Link, it connects EA with Eclipse to make it easier to work with an Eclipse project from within EA.

wonderful !- a response from support!  

I am using MDG integration am running into some issues.
Specifically I have an eclipse project with some java source files auto-compiled into a bin/classes
I try to use the classmodel>currentpackage>link to project functionality -nothing happened.
So I did classmodel>currentpackage>import eclipse projets. this seemed to be just a multiple "link to project" and did do something- picking up classes from the bin/classes directory and generating corresponding package and classes in the EA project explorer.
I don't want this ofcourse, I want it to pick up my source files from the elipse project.
Next I modified a source file in the exclipse project, this resulted in a NEW class showing up in EA project explorer. So now I have two class representations of a single class, one corresponding to bin/classes and one correspondign to src. This is obviously not the way it was intended to be
how do I go about associating my src class to a class representation in the EA project explorer ?

More questions to come once this is resolved.
Thankyou!

The documentation is rather sparse and seems like some of it is a cut and paste job from visual studio support.
