Hi
Setting up version control for an EA project using SVN often leads to a recurring question about the .EAP file
Currently we shared via XMI files all model elements, packages, and diagrams.
But as far as images, templates, glossary, matrix profiles, audit, and other reference data are concerned, these are stored in the EAP file so one 'ugly' way to apply is to share the EAP other SVN (not ideal since it's a binary file)
Since EA lets us export reference data as XMI, we could alternatively share reference data via XMI exports.
My question is : could or does EA (in recent version) allow to share reference data over XMI files like it knows how to do it with packages/elements/diagram.
A few examples of nice to have features :
- if you want to copy an image, you could via the Resources View run a Check Out on the Images resource to update its content (images could be split over packages like your models) > updating the images on SVN will require an SVN update
- if you want to update the glossary, you could run a check out, etc.
cheers
