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.

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!

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!

All the time the same issue: what window shall I use for typing code in the Enterprise Architect: the input window at the top named “Behavior” or the input window at the bottom named “Initial Code”??

To complete the confusion: the property tab also has been named “Behavior”

Behavior vs initial code

The property dialog has been changed between EA 8.0 and EA 9.0, the issue has remain. Summary If you want that EA considers your code during code generation please note:

  • for class operations use “Initial Code:” input window for manual coding
  • for class operations use “Behavior” window for linking it to a behavior only
  • for state operations use “Behavior” window only for everything

If you want to understand the reason behind that, see below for explanation:

By the way, the AMUSE 2.0 (coming soon) provides a number of really helpful validation rules, e.g. in that case AMUSE warns the user  about the code will be ignored by the code generation

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)

Geert did a very nice post explaining his Ideas on Sequence Diagrams inside Classes! As I like Sequence Diagrams a lot – I like this post. It shows how it can be done with Enterprise Architect.

Two important things are explained:

  • Instances vs. Classes
  • Methods vs. Operations
