Actually, I don't know how many of you have played with VS.NET 2005, but the round-tripping is actually pretty spot-on. Be forewarned though - once you play with this, the dire need of a proper development environment for CF will haunt your dreams.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechar t/html/clssdsgnr.asp I use VS.NET half the time (including the 2005 beta) and DW/CFEclipse the other half. Every time I come back out of VS.NET into DW/CFEclipse, I feel like I'm using notepad. :( Roland -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Flanigan Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 12:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] UML Design The "round trip" argument about code generators is a red herring of computer lore, it is not computer science. While it sounds great, it is not logical. Code generators behave on the principle of compiler theory. The idea is to create something new, a semantic translation of the source to a target. The semantic rules may not be associative. Consequently, since reverse engineering is also a compiler, the source and the target have deviations. The value of code generators is to generate code. If a generator is good, it will not only generate code, but also provide value add features. >The major shortcoming of all the CFC generators out are, IMO: > > * No support for round-trip or reverse engineering: Once you > generated the CFC, you can't play with the source, suck them back > in to the modeller, play with the class diagrams, and reexport, > whilst keeping my new code. > * No IDE integration. > >These are expectations I've come to have from when I used to use NetBeans >with ArgoUML.
