Reverse and Forward Engineering: Is It BUG?

[zalbina]

Hi,

Today, suddenly, I found very weird thing related to the reverse engineering. I built some class with the couple functions and attributes in EA, generated source code after that. Everything seems right. I implemented my functions and performed reverse engineering procedure back to EA. Everything seems right again, BUT I desided to add some code to my functions and again generated java code from EA. Just guess what should I see in java code? That's right, CODE, BUT all my functions are EMPTIES. So, I don't know, may be I miss something in my understanding of things, or it's a BUG. I forgot to mention that it happens when I delete first generated code and generate the code again on to the same place.

Thanks.

Did not nobody try to do it  ?

OK. What does it mean for my company when the code just disappear by this forward and reverse engineering?

Some explanations, please.

I think that only your company can judge what it means to them.

By default EA doesn't reverse engineer method bodies or overwrite existing ones when generating.

Turn on the reverse engineering option on the Attribute/Operations page of the options dialog and you'll be fine.
