Suggestions and Requests / Re: Document Artifacts handled by external editor

« on: May 17, 2008, 04:52:08 am »

I have several templates in .doc/.dot formats I would like to include them in EA projects (Resources to be used in document artifacts).
Now, I can only create a new template in Resources and import my template, and then it is transformed into RTF.
This way I loose the power of Word edition (tables of contentes, properties/fields of the document).
On the other side if I just link the document in Linked Files, I loose the feauture of double click and access to the document, as well as the integration of the document within the eap file. (self-contained eap document).
That would be not so complex, but just should allow to configure the external application that handles the document (or just letting the O.S. to open it with the default application).

I agree with this request. It would also be nice to have OpenOffice supported, but I believe that once one external editor is supported, it won't be any problem to support more.

Suggestions and Requests / Show requirements priority in the diagram

« on: May 17, 2008, 04:56:57 am »

As far as I know, it currently isn't possible to view the priority of a requirement in the diagram. Therefore, I'd like to suggest that you introduce it, by, for example, having a GUI thing like [|||], [|| ] and [|  ], for each priority level, visible somewhere on the requirement box.

And by the way, thanks for a great product!

Suggestions and Requests / Re: PHP namespace emulation and support

« on: January 12, 2008, 08:36:06 am »

The code gen can be changed by the user as it is macro driven. I haven't tried this, but I'm quite sure you can change that with not much effort.

Yes, I've tried that and unfortunately the %packagePath% macro won't display the complete package path - it only displays the root package name. Changing language to Java will make it work as expected though. Further, what I requested wasn't only the code generation part, but also in EA, while editing operations and attributes (for example), it would be nice to not just see two "Person" types, as it's impossible to know which one is which, but somehow see their package/namespace path.

Suggestions and Requests / PHP namespace emulation and support

« on: January 08, 2008, 01:59:40 am »

I would really like to see both namespace emulation (for PHP <6) and namespace support for the upcoming PHP 6. The problem is that when i put PHP classes with the same name but in different packages they're named the same globally, meaning that I have no idea which one to choose when selecting argument types etc. Due to the lack of namespaces in PHP <6 the PHP community found its own way of emulating these, and http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/coding-standard.naming-conventions.html#coding-standard.naming-conventions.classes is probably one of the most popular naming conventions. I believe that it wouldn't be a problem to implement this, as it's more or less like C++ namespaces, but with the "::" replaced with "_".

I'm in the trial period right now, but with this fixed I'm 100% sure that I will buy your software (EA), as it seems to be the best one available.
