Suggestions and Requests / Re: Bug Submission feature requests

« on: March 16, 2006, 08:35:48 am »

There's a fairly cheap bug tracking system call Gemini from a company called CounterSoft.

It implements a Web services interface as well and should be easily integratable into EA

I've got the MDG Link for .NET and was assuming that it would work from there.

Can we have reverse engineering of VB.NET please - I have a number of projects it would be nice to generate class diagrams for

Suggestions and Requests / Class names on different diagrams, same package

Why doesn't EA detect that you have two classes of the same name within the same scope and stop you creating the second one?

It seems to be that you have to cut and paste a class instance from one diagram to another to ensure that it's the same entity - any other method available?

General Board / Reverse engineering C#

« on: August 30, 2012, 11:37:24 pm »

trying to reverse engineer a project and a large number of classes are failing to arrive.

1. Can you stop closing the dialog immediately on completion, makes it very difficult to determine if the process worked.

2. Seems to be having problems on abstract classes - I have a sample C# project/EAP file that shows the problem

3. Apart from this and the auto-property stuff, is anyone aware of any other issues?

General Board / Sequence Diagram

How to I make a self call "longer" so that I can show the message dispatch within it.

For example, I have a method call ProcessUsers and I'm going to call FindUser, Message.Merge and Message.Dispatch within the context of this.

If I'm approaching this incorrectly, I'd also appreciate advice.

General Board / MDG Link/Integrate

Bit confused as to why there's two add-ins for integrating into VS 2005.

Also, one of linsk doesn't point at the latest versions of the files - the Link Add-In reports itself as 2.3 after installation.

General Board / Re: How to add a property to an interface?

« on: October 12, 2006, 06:35:05 am »

Thanks for the assistance, I read through the links you copied, and made a note later to try and understand them    In the mean time I did notice that I was using an EA build from Jan 06, I've just grabbed the latest version.  Straight away I noticed that in the class Properties are no longer flagged as "Property", rather "<<Property>>", so they've become a stereotype.  I followed your example of creating a getter with the correct sterotype and it's worked.  So a mixture of my lack of knowledge and an older version.

I guess I'm doing something wrong, the only way I've found of creating a property is to create an attribute (and check the property check box that is on the attribute dialog box).  So I've not found the way of creating the getter method without first creating the attribute (and doing it my way, you can't then delete the attribute as that also gets rid of the property).

General Board / How to add a property to an interface?

« on: October 12, 2006, 05:50:24 am »

Hi,

Just starting what appears a very steep learning curve to learning EA.  My code base will be C# and I'm currently trying to create an interface (called IHeader), that exposes a get; property called ID (int).  This is to be realised by the class Header, which not only implements the ID get parameter, but defines the private attribute id.  I'm running into a problem where the only way that I can define a property in the interface is by giving the interface an attribute.  Whilst this then allows the class (Header) to implement the property ID, I'm left with the attribute in the interface rather than the class.  Any ideas how I can get around this?

Thanks,

- Paul.

General Board / Reverse engineering C# - structs

The MDG link doesn't reverse engineer structs - is this a bug or have I missed something?

General Board / Re: Packages, Artifacts and Namespaces

« on: March 16, 2006, 03:32:47 pm »

As far as I'm concerned, the package hierarchy is already correctly structured.

For example, the I have Ontologyx.Parsing and Ontologyx.Import which correspond to the Parser and Import projects.

What I thought should happen is that I create a package called Ontologyx, then create two sub-packages Parsing and Import and attach the projects to those nodes, but if I do so, the reverse engineering creates the root namespace again underneath the nodes.

Am I doing this incorrectly?

I'd like a response to this - the reverse engineering is fairly useless without being able to control this properly.

General Board / Packages, Artifacts and Namespaces

« on: February 17, 2006, 10:58:44 am »

Hi

I'm not sure how to go about this in EA...

I have a classes which are contained in a set of hierarchic namespaces. Now to allow round-tripping between VS and EA I create a number of packages, each of which corresponds to a project name in my solution.

When I synchronize, the MDG link creates sub-packages underneath my node, one for each namespace.

The problem with that is that now all of my packages, have the duplicated namespaces (the top 2-3 tiers of the namespace tree).

If I create a unified view, then I'm going to lose my linkage to the code, but otherwise I'm left with a rather odd hierarchy.

Any ideas, or am I approaching this in the wrong way.

General Board / Re: Web Service notation in UML????

« on: March 16, 2006, 08:37:40 am »

I'd look at the BPMN add in - to my way of thinking if you are modelling services you are modelling some form of process?
