WAIT : http://crazybeans.sourceforge.net/ <QUOTE> Rational Rose is probably the most widely used tool for software engineering processes, although it has some deficiencies (which we will not discuss here). In this project we tried to tackle one of them related to the ``roundtrip engineering'' process. One can import source files into Rose and create class diagrams from them. Vice versa one can create classes (and IDL specifications or whatever you need) from class (and other) diagrams. Yet these creation processes can not be influenced by the user in a convenient, flexible and extensible way. Another problem is that these models are proprietary and some people would like to have the possibility to write a converter for these models into a different format used by another tool, XMI, for example. </QUOTE> ===== James Michael DuPont http://introspector.sourceforge.net/ __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
