How to reverse engineer / import CORBA IDL

[hoemmele]

Hi,

I have installed MDG CORBA for my EA and I'm now able to create CORBA Interfaces in UML and generate CORBA IDL from that. However, I'm looking for a way to import existing CORBA IDL 'code' from .idl files into EA ( like I can do with C++ sources, .h, for instance ).

I see the option 'synchronize with code' on existing CORBA Interfaces ( 'IDL Classes' ), but that, I think, only helps once it's there in the UML.

thanks,
   Lars

It's available in Import source Directory, or import files (from the context menu of a class diagram.)

Hi, the existance of this thread made me try again. A suble but IMPORTANT ingredient: The file extension must include the '.'! Otherwise, EA claims the import was complete with no problems but doesn't bring anything in.

I'm not complaining. Just want to help others avoid this simple mistake and find a way to contribute once in a while.

Thanks to all those who contribute!
