When we adapted Rose, we too tried to generate code from model, do
round-trip engineering etc. However, we found that this was simply too
time-consuming and not really worth the effort. In my opinion, Rose is
not very good editor for writing C++ (or Java) classes, this is better
done directly in C++. In addition, if you refine your model far enough
so that you can generate code from it, it becomes very complex and loses
it's point - model should help you get overview of your class structure,
focusing on important points and leaving out unimportant ones. If your
model is as complex as your code, you might as well use a good class
browser to navigate that.

Having said that, we use Rose extensively for initial exploring and
drafting of architecture and design. Once the model is detailed enough
to express the idea we are trying to implement, we leave the model alone
and start coding.
