I have been using Rose for several years and have recently upgraded to Rose 2001 (Patch1) and made the following 'observations': - Selected class(es) remain selected even after switching to a different class diagram. This has the annoying effect of openning up the source files for previously selected class(es) when depressing Ctrl-K. The desired and expected result is to open only the source files for those classes that are selected in the visible class diagram. On the sucking scale of 1 to 10 this one hits a sweet 11. - When generating C++ code for classes which have attributes and associations of mixed visibilities, i.e. some attributes are public, others are protected, and most are private, the initialization lists (generated with constructors) mix up the order of declaration of the data members. This causes the C++ compiler to warn about out of order initialization list. This one sucks a little less than the first point but still sucks none the less. - There is no way to specify constructor chaining (for C++) in the model. This forced the developer to have to mannually modify the initialization list of affected constructors. This is error prone since all manual modification of the initialization list will be overwritten the next time the code is generated. Sucks++. - The C++ Code Analyzer, you know the reverse engineering tool, simply puked its guts out when attempt to analyze C++ code written for VxWorks. This is beyond suck, this tool is a steaming heap of putrid mad cow vomit. There is a movement at our company to adopt this other modelling tool, Together something or other (formerly known as TogetherJ) http://www.togethersoft.com/. It has its own warts but is a whole lot easier to use and with Rose's poblems that I mentioned above, this movement might just catch wind. Grady, please fix up these sore eyes before it is too late.
