General Board / Plugin Interface
« on: February 25, 2003, 12:14:41 pm »
This message is to the EA Developers:
I love your product and would like to further extend it for our companies and it customers needs.
The Question:
Do you have or have plans for exposing the project model to the outside via a plugin interface?
As a potentially lucrative customer, my company has already bought several copies of your product and would like to help see you more. We are currently bidding on a LARGE, HUGE program and see your product as the potential cornerstone of our systems architecting toolset plan. We are currently doing our own prototyping of a System Architecting tool using C#.NET (
LUV IT! ) and Northwoods Go.NET to help gather requirments. We are in the process of evaluating this prototype and we can see using an "extensible" version of EA in the final version.
However, WE MUST BE ABLE TO EXTEND EA, and I don't mean the VB automation crap. We want to load plugins to your tool the users can call up from EA via toolbar or menubar or what have you. The plugins needed to be able to walk over the entire model tree and get each node's properties.
What is Sparx's position on this matter?
