Suggestions and Requests / Status colors with pattern filling support

« on: March 30, 2008, 02:01:14 pm »

Hi,

Currently, we are working in a open source plugin that connect Jira (by Atlassian) and EA in a full roundtrip environment.

A very interesting feature in EA is a coloured statuses in UML elements, enabling a quickly visual feedback for the analyst.

In our plugin, the status of an element in EA is automatically connected and synchronized with a status of an issue in Jira environment.

Since they are connected and the issue extrapolate the due date, the respectively element in UML diagram receive a new color.

The problem in this approach is that differnt colors are assigned to the same status just because the due date has arrived.

Supporting pattern filling, the delayed elements (or issues) can be visualized easy, like this:

In this image, we created some patterns over the status color. Note that the same color status are used for the elements, but the presence of a pattern distinguish the delayed items.

What is a possibility to add this feature (coloured filling with pattern support) in next releases of EA ?

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Tracebility from use case-design-code

Hi,

Look in Help file, searching for "Requirements". Then, open the first option link, the "Requeriments (EA User Guide)"

See how to Use Cases *realizes* the requirements. For each Use Case, you can attach (by realization or implementation links) the softwares components responsibilities.

Finally, using a Hierarchy View (by Control + Shift + 4) over the Use Case, you can trace responsibilities.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Unable to use Automation Interface in Java 64

Thanks, Stan.

I downloaded a 32bit JRE, and setup my project to compile and run with this.

Now, all working fine, although I need to keep 2 JVM in my Windows 64.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Unable to use Automation Interface in Java 64 bits

« on: December 28, 2009, 04:55:06 am »

I'm trying to use Enterprise Architect Automation Interface (SSJavaCOM.dll and Eaapi.jar) in a Java 1.6u17 environment, with a Windows XP 64bits.

But, when the application start, the error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\WINDOWS\system32\SSJavaCOM.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform
      at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)
      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source)
      at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)

      at br.com.treelayer.ea.util.TestMain.testGetRepository(TestMain.java:42)

occurs.

Does anyone have information about this?

PS. The project works fine in an 32 bits environment.
