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.

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

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

CaliberRM – Enterprise Architect Integration Add-In

On the 16th of June 2011 Dunstan Thomas will be hosting another free webinar.
The subject for this webinar will be the CaliberRM / Enterprise Architect Integration Add-In designed by Dunstan Thomas.

Introduction

CaliberRM is a requirements management tool from Microfocus and is widely used by organisations to manage their corporate requirements.
Enterprise Architect is a modelling tool focusing on UML and Business Process Modelling from SparxSystems and is used extensively by organisations for all their modelling needs.
A common need is for corporations to manage traceability between their Models and their Requirements. Whilst Enterprise Architect can capture Requirements it is not really a Requirements Management tool per se, and CaliberRM has no modelling functionality at all.
The objective of this Add-In is therefore to implement an integration bridge between the two products, specifically the ability to import and synchronise Requirements from CaliberRM into Enterprise Architect modelling projects where the traceability can be managed and reported.

Agenda

The agenda for this webinar is as follows:

  • Why the add-in has been created
  • Overview of add-in design
  • The functionality provided
  • Demonstration of the add-in
  • Next steps in development
  • Availability
Register now

To register you interest for this webinar please email us with your name, company, telephone number and email address along with the title of the webinar you wish to register for. We’ll then send you login details for the webinar on the week prior to the event. Register your interest here.

For the Electronics Fair Exhibition in the Hong Kong I prepared a presentation that explains how the toolkit we developed helps to manage the growing complexity in the embedded world. The solution is based on Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, AMUSE and Willert Tools. Willert Software GmbH is one of the pioneers in that domain and provide Model Driven Development (MDD) solutions for embedded development for 10 Years (!). Last year LieberLieber and Willert companies decided to provide an affordable solution based on Enterprise Architect that I successfully present at the Electronics Fair Exhibition in the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Center. My colleagues from Sparx Systems Australia liked it, so I hope you’ll enjoy it also:

BridgingEmbeddedGap

At that place I’d like to say a big thank you to Walter van der Heiden who allowed me to reuse some slides from his impressive presentation I enjoyed some times on the development conferences Winking smile.

Please find here a video that demonstrates our solution for the Keil environment and ARM RTOS
