Reverse Engineer for another language in EA

[kdd23]

Hi,

is it possible to do a Reverse Engineer for a new programming language not defined in EA?

-I have defined and created a MDG Technology file for a new language.
 a Forward Engineer works very well so far, but i would like to configure EA so that i can synchronize a package with the source code for the new language. Is is possible?

Thank you for any help.

Christian,

AFAIK you can only customise templates for forward engineering, not for reverse.

So you can either ask Sparx to implement templates for reverse engineering, and wait...
Or write your own parser to reverse engineer your language of choice.

Geert,

Thank you for the response.
How can i write my own parser and integrate it into EA?

Thanks for your help.

à bientôt!

Christian,

You can write addins for EA.
Start here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/8.0/automation_and_scripts/automation_interface.html
There are some examples distributed with the install, and you can find some examples on the community site.
