Suggestions and Requests / C++ pure virtual function comment importing

« on: October 11, 2004, 11:20:04 am »

In build 738 the following problem was resolved:
"C++ importing now follows options in the C++ options page for where method comments should appear"

However, it would be nice to have the tool import C++ comments on pure virtual functions ALWAYS from the .h file.  This should also be true for code generation.

What do you think?

This tool is awesome!

Bruno,

Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, replication works on the entire model, not just a package.  Our typical usage is that someone is only working on a package at a time.  

Also, merging always scares me.  There are so many opportunities for mistakes.

Yes, the model is not currently controlled in the CM tool.  

Your right, it does add extra steps, but those extra steps are far better than having to way for each mouse click.

I sent a suggestion in to Sparx asking for this to be made easier.  Hopefully, they will consider this issue for future releases.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to use EA when the development team is spread around the world?  

We currently have our model on a SQL server that is not located locally.  Thanks to the slow connection time, it is very frustrating using the tool since just about each click takes around 5-7 seconds.  

Would it be better to not use the SQL server and manage team development using the batch import/export capability?  We could control the model in our CM tool and when engineers want to make updates, they can lock the package, export it, and then edit it locally.  When they are done, they can import it back in and then remove the lock.  We could even control the exported XMI files in the CM tool as well.

I'm just looking for lessons learned or tips.

Thanks in advance!
Dan

  Alright I figured it out, but I swear I must have looked for that for a couple of hours.  Just for others:

The local path dialog can be accessed from Configuration->Local Directories ...

It would be extremely helpful to show how to access a dialog when it is used in help.

Regards,

Hi, I am trying to test out the local path functionality, but have been unable to figure out how to invoke the Local Path dialog.  Where is this located?

Thanks!
