General Board / Re: How do I?  Refactor into packages easily?

I think Sparx could look more closely at Eclipse and duplicate some of its refactoring capabilities

Whilst its a great tool especially for the price, in terms of workflow, its actually faster to write Java code and reverse engineer it, than type up classes and methods in EA - and its simply a UI thing - a few small changes and it would be there....

I guess the answer is 'no' then....

General Board / How do I?  Refactor into packages easily?

Hi all.

I've just reversed engineered a large database with about 2000 tables/views in a single database.

Now I want to use EA to organise it into logical groupings, but the Project Explorer and dragging 10s of nodes up a list of 2000 items seems painful and error prone (actually, not 'seems' it just is painful).

Is there a better way?   EA seems quite weak at mass reorganization like this....

Uml Process / Physical Elaboration of a Logical Model

« on: February 19, 2009, 03:37:04 pm »

Hi.

I have created a Logical Domain model with entitites and their relationships.

Each of these Logical entities has related 1 or more physical tables which I am also modeling.

I basically want to have an 'overlay' style approach where I can lay the logical over the physical, or generate the physical relationships based on the logical relationships.

ERWIN would appear to allow this easy elaboration of Logical to Physical, but with EA it seems I can only approximate this with alot of manual work and organisation.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
