Namespace (package) dependencies

[Paolo F Cantoni]

I've reverse engineered some C# code.  Since, in UML, a package IS a namespace, EA correctly created a package for each namespace I have defined in the directory structure (although as I noted elsewhere, it gave them the Java Language type! )

Anyway, it didn't create any package dependencies (defined via the using keyword in C#).

Should I have expected it to?  Since the project is small, I've put them in.  I also had to add the nesting relationships which EA doesn't create when you have a package and its parent in the same diagram...

I'm also interested in package dependencies.  I'm guessing this is not currently supported.

Are there any plans to add it?

I noticed there is a Code Generation toolbar where you can select a default language. Don't know whether that helps.

Are you suggesting that selecting the language before reverse-engineering would set the package "language" setting correctly?

Yes, I'd say you're correct.

But are you also suggesting that this might generate the desired package dependencies?  [Which is the bigger issue being discussed here]

I'm doubting it - I'm guessing EA doesn't support this capability for some reason -- which is a huge hole in the feature set...

Any help would be appreciated - it's imperitive to be able to see package dependencies when you're auditing a design...

Just meant the language
