With Code Engineering --- >Read Source Directory i can get a Folder structure in EA.
Is it possible to read EAP-Files with "reverse Engineering"?
Because its sparx-own file Format it should not be very complicated?

The content of an .EAP file is actually a database, so you can't reverse-engineer it like you would source code.
You can reverse-engineer databases (including EA's own) into EA with the Import DB Schema function, but you'll only get the structure this way -- not the contents.

What would you expect to get from the reverse engineering?

I have some DBMS repositories, but in some cases we have a Folder structure with EAP Files.
I wanted to read the Folder structure and set on "Filetype" .eap.
So EA would recognize the eap and Show it for each Folder.

You can create a hyperlink of type File - Open (from the Common toolbox in any diagram) and specify the EAP file there. Double-clicking the hyperlink will then open the project.
-
Alternatively you can create Artifact elements and use the File tab to point to your real file.

You can create a script that read the folder structure and create the suitable packages within de EA model.
