Suggestions and Requests / Improve Generate Sequence Diagrams

« on: February 23, 2007, 09:32:29 am »

Hello,

I am using the feature in 6.5 to debug in java programs (I cannot make the Attach to JVM work but I am using the other debug option).

That works not so badly but I can think of some improvements.

The sequence diagrams generated is usually well-formatted but contains too much information. For example, a message invocation is translated as being "Communication::AddToReceiverList" (with no parameters values) but really should be "AddToReceiverList('MyParameterValue')". I have to add manually these parameters in order to add value to the diagram.

Thank you for your time.

Suggestions and Requests / BUG: java and sequence diagrams

« on: February 02, 2007, 06:06:07 am »

Hello !

I have been trying to generate the sequence diagrams and link EA with Java. I have even trying to set it up with MDG link but I discovered that the MDG link does not allow me to generate sequence diagrams.

Please consult my other post Java debug and sequence diagrams (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1170051209).
Several people on the forum couldn't make it work and I couldn't find anyone that could make it work.

I viewed the demo video on the EA demos sites but to no avail. In fact, I can run the JVM properly but when I do "debug", the process stops at "JVM 1.4 Loaded" and then nothing. No error message, only a blank screen.

Is it a non working feature?

Thank you very much

Suggestions and Requests / bug with communication diagram redrawing

« on: July 25, 2005, 06:43:41 pm »

Hello,

When opening some of the communication diagrams I created earlier, the objects are not drawn correctly. More specifically, I have several "collaboration message arrows objects" going from an object to another one. Here is the steps I used for reproduction:

1) Create a communication diagram with several links ("collaboration message arrows objects")
2) Place the messages with the arrows the way you like.
3) Save the project, Close it and re-open it.
4) open the original diagram you created
5) The objects are not drawn the way they were when you saved them, they're misaligned !
6) Click on a misaligned "collaboration message object" and the message will automatically change its location to the correct position, but I have to move the mouse a bit or else it will go back to its original (and wrong) location.

If I save the project and close/re-open it, the same process will go over and over again. That means I have to re-set the location of those objects everytime I open the diagram/project

I would appreciate hearing from you, what can I do for it and anybody experienced something similar?

Suggestions and Requests / Reverse engineering and interaction diagrams

« on: July 24, 2005, 01:57:20 pm »

Hello,

Would be a must to be able to reverse engineer an interaction diagram (either sequence or collaboration) given a source code input. Even if it's not perfectly complete, a simple parser would save a good amount of time !

Thank you !

So far, I'm impressed how much EA saves me time compared to other products.

Suggestions and Requests / communication numbering

« on: July 07, 2005, 02:44:04 pm »

Hello,

I can't find a way to change numbers on a message for a communication diagram, it would be a desirable feature and it saves time if you don't have to delete everything and start over.

General Board / Java debugger doesn't work : JVMTI error

« on: February 22, 2007, 07:00:27 pm »

Hello !

I am trying to use the java debugger and attach it to the JVM. I am using eclipse 3.2 and JDK 1.6.0. The command I use is "java -agentlib:C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\SSJavaProfiler65". Under Eclipse, the command seems to work when I select "Run as..." but it gives me the following error when I select "Debug as..." : ERROR: JDWP unable to get necessary JVMTI capabilities. Then, there is nothing I can do and I'm stuck.

Any idea ? I need help.

Thank you!

General Board / Re: Java debug and sequence diagrams

« on: January 31, 2007, 12:23:05 pm »

I tried MDG Eclipse and it seems that I cannot generate sequence diagrams using the EA interface anymore. Is that correct ?

My hope was to be able to integrate eclipse with EA so that I could debug in eclipse and be able to generate the corresponding sequence diagram, the same way it happens if I could make the java debugger work in EA (without the MDG plug-in) but that doesn't seem to be true. Documentation does not mention this.

Thank you for assistance.

Thank you for your help !

When I search the forum, I cannot find anyone that make it work.

http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=display;num=1168274538;start=0#0
http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Automation;action=display;num=1166040545;start=0#0

So I don't know if that feature is working at all. The EA documentation doesn't seeem clear and I have seen a demo (http://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/demos/index.html)
But the demo doesn't work even if I follow these steps !

I must be doing something wrong... but the feature surely is not easy to use.

Thank you again for your time

I can type "java" anywhere and it will run the JVM (the PATH environment variable is already set to include the JDK).

Thank you guys for your help ! I'm trying to make this work, without success so far. If you have any idea, please let me know since I want to try this reverse engineering for the sequence diagrams but I can't make that feature to work.

General Board / Java debug and sequence diagrams

« on: January 28, 2007, 10:13:28 pm »

Hello !

There is no way I can get this to work. Is it working better with MDG eclipse plug-in ?

I can build and make the application run but when I click on the "debug" button, it doesn't work. Instead, the following text appears :

"Loading Java Virtual Machine from path ....jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Obtained Java virtual Machine version 1.4"

And then, nothing ! No error message or anything but no expected behavior neither.

Thank you for your help !
