Requested Feature

[PhilBoyd]

Is there a planned SDK or published API that we could access to create custom imports?  For example - you import C++, VB ( ). etc.  If I wanted to generate an importer for Eiffel or Smalltalk, could I do this?

Phil,

Eiffel?   Are you a Booch fanatic? <lol>... sorry, my past had to say that.

The EA data sources can be accessed through the MS Jet Engine and it is pretty straight forward.  I'm working on an add-on toolkit with report writer and am finding it quite easy.

The main issue with importing is for you to build a parser to take source code and import into an EAP file through a Jet RDD (I'm using CA-Visual Objects to do this).  The EAP table structures are very straight forward and should be easy for you to accomplish this.   There are other XML ideas as well.  And finally, I don't know of an "API" that lets you communicate with the EA.EXE file directly.

Hope that helps,

Steve
