In the course of the project MOLIZ, a research project together with the Vienna University of Technology, we kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about the usage of models in practice and requirements for model execution.
The questionnaire is targeted at people who work with models and especially at people who use UML or UML profiles, such as SysML. Filling in the questionnaire will take only approximately 15 minutes. We kindly ask you to take that time and thereby significantly support research in the area of model execution. The results of the survey will be published.

The Model Driven Generation (MDG) Integration for Eclipse and Enterprise Architect (EA) brings the modeling capabilities of Enterprise Architect to the IDE of Eclipse.
Editing your EA models is provided directly in Eclipse and, with one click, Java or C++ code (or also other languages) can be automatically generated. But also reverse engineering existing source code into UML models is possible. After connecting your EA models to Java, C++, or other languages, models and code are live synchronized. If you change your model elements, the modifications are automatically updating the dedicated source code and vice versa. Thus, a full round-trip engineering process is provided.
The EA projects are visualized in an own Eclipse view as depicted on the right side of the screenshot below. Next to this view, EA’s UML editor is depicted. The connected source code, i.e., Java in our case, can be maintained inside the workspace of Eclipse as depicted on the left side of this screenshot. By selecting a model element it can be easily navigated to the dedicated position in the Java code.
For more information including the installation guidelines and the user guide we kindly refer to the website of the Sparx Systems.
Im Rahmen der Software Quality Days wird Horst Kargl am 18. Jänner (14.45 Uhr) unter dem Titel “Arbeiten Sie nicht planlos” über die Wichtigkeit der Planung in Software Entwicklungsprojekten sprechen.
Der Kongress bietet mit Keynotes, Fachvorträgen, Ausstellungsbereich, Tutorials und Workshops umfassende Möglichkeiten der Weiterbildung und des Networkings im Bereich Software.
Wenn Sie keine Zeit zum Besuch des Vortrags haben, finden Sie demnächst eine Zusammenfassung in diesem Blog bzw. auf unserer Homepage.

The idea for this was born out of a bet between Daniel Siegl from LieberLieber and the guys from the Merapi-Team from the Ostfalia University. The goal was, to create a somehow funny video, that explains the UML Statechart diagramm in under 10 minutes. Have fun!
For the Credits
idea: Alexander Horn, Kevin Barwich
implementation: Kevin Barwich
Music: Louis Armstrong, Pink Panther, Kevin Barwich
Today I’d like to provide the latest version of EnarSpy for Enterprise Architect.
There where some modifications lately, most of them on existing functionality.
Some of the changes:
- [AdvancedSearch] search by type
- [ElementDetails] display tablerecord also for types method, connector, attribute, diagram
- [ExecuteSQL] removed syntax highlighting due it was buggy
- [All] updated IAHost components; sorting Context-Menu Entries (e.g. Element Details back on top)
Latest Version is available here: LieberLieber_EnArSpy_1.2.49
All changes + Dokumentation: Overview.pdf
Have fun!
This royalty free addin was built for Developers to speed up Enterprise Architect Development. It includes a couple of plugins and tools to ease the developer’s life by e.g. unvealing properties hidden by EA.
New in this version:
- ElementDetails: all collections are loaded in-depth (except Element- or Package- Collections). Therefore you open an element and see it’s operations and their parameters.
There’s also an option to display the database-record of the current element or package.
- Filtergram: find objects in the current diagram by any property (only non-collections are supported yet)
- eaLauncher: now supports addin-registrations in Local Machine hive introduced with EA 9.0.
For more details see the documentation.
If you already installed Version 1.0 (from here): there is no need to uninstall. Version 1.2.1 will replace previous versions automatically.
Requirements: .NET 3.5 & Enterprise Architect 8 or above.
Downloads are here:
Setup: v1.2.1
Documentation: Overview
Demo-Video: 1080i (taken from v1.0)
