Hi John,
thanks for your reply. Indeed the (hidden?) properties of the component are "RevEngRootDirectory", "RootDirectory", "FilesEncoding" and some more, which can be set by the standard property functions for the component (REI Module class). I found it some time ago the way you found it. Both root directories are quite easy to set, more tricky is the setting for the files in FilesEncoding and as far as I found out, these are a list of filenames where each filename is preceded by a length encoding and followed by a "," and some number and a <CR><LF> pair. By filling these values in the component I was successful in parameterizing the ANSI C++ plugin and completing the parameters for the component by scripting. Nevertheless I got the statement from Rational support (thanks for the good support!) that this is NO official interface, but only some setting where I think it can change in later versions of Rose (I use Rose2001A). Maybe there is some official interface for REI access to some plugins in the future.
