General Board / Project File (.eap) split up?

« on: November 29, 2005, 06:37:30 pm »

Hi, I am using EA 5.0 build 768.

There is one .eap file for each project, containing all the information about that project. I wonder whether it is possible to split this single project file into smaller sub-project files. Or there is one master project file that references to a number of sub-project files.

The reason for this is that several people may work on the same project, each of them may modify different part of the project. For example, personA may change class diagram while personB is modifying user case diagram. In this situation, if there is a sub-project file for all the class diagrams and another for all user case diagrams, and both file is kept in some version control system (say CVS). In that case, it would be helpful that personA check out one sub-project file and modify; personB check out another and modify. They check them back in once finished. Other people can checkout the master project file, so both changes are already there.

Is this feature already in EA (6.0)? Or is there any way to achieve this? I am sorry if this does not make sense. Any information is welcome!

Thx!
