I'm using Rose J 2002 with Visual Cafe 4.5 under Windows 2000.
Previously I used the Cafe Ensemble link to do round trip engineering without problem. However, I happened to notice that the support was built into Rose to do this without Ensemble and it would have automagically. So, I went ahead and reverse engineered the project. Well, I ended up with classes created for my user types that were found in jars on the classpath but not in the project as well as classes for some built in types like String, List and Map. These showed up in my Cafe project as empty classes. I thought deleting them would be a good thing, but I think this was a mistake. It seemed to delete every reference to that type in my project. It just wiped out the private variable declarations in the classes. It also moved & commented out some functions that used these types as arguements. It totally changed my code. I mean the actual implementation code. This is really bad. Especially since I wasn't told it was happening. So, I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem and know if there is a way to prevent it. I'd like to know the conditions under which this happens so I can avoid repeating this. Here's an example. Create a Cafe project and add a class that uses java.util.List via importing the interface. import java.util.*; public class MyClass { private List var1; public void methodCall(List var2) { var1 = var2; } } Then I go into Rose and create a new project, change code generation to Visual Cafe, turn on automatic sync. Then I go back to tools, and do a reverse engineer on the current Cafe project. When this is done, I end up with a java package in the logical & component views. Why?? This is just a reference, can't it stay that way? Also, sometimes Rose will create a new file with the same name as the original Java file but in a different location. It's like Rose can't find the original even though it just created the model from a reverse engineer.
