UML Modeling / Reverse Engineering Tool: Rational Rose orSELECT?

Can anyone comment on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Forte
modeling / reverse engineering tools from Rational and SELECT? A brief
discussion of tools for reverse engineering Forte applications appeared in
June '98, but it was not clear how these products compared.

What version (or build) of UML are you using? You can find out by going Tools->Module Manager, find a uml module under UML category, right click on the module and bring up Properties, build number is listed under "Expert" section. What's your system platform? JDK?
In step 9, is the target uml project selected? Do you have other uml projects open at the same time?

Reverse engineering with Rational Rose

Is anybody using the above?
If so, have you developed any scripts to facilitate updating the Rose model,
and which you'd be willing to share? Or perhaps discuss jointly writing
same?
Ideally, there would be an Fscript to facilitate exposting Forte projects,
and a Rose script to facilitate import.
TIA,
Eric

Eric,
As part of tool evaluation for modeling, We evaluated Rational Rose 98i . We
were able to import forte pex files into Rose model.
We had no problems with reverse engineering but there were problems related to
round trip engineering.
Since Rational Rose 98i did not have a repository based solution for
configuration management, it was quite a task to keep the model in sync with
multiple users updating it. However, I believe you can use Microsoft Source
safe for configuration management though we did not try this.

UML reverse engineering tool

Hi,
I am searching for an advisable GNU UML reverse engineering tool. (e.g. a plugin for eclipse.)
On internet I could only find try versions which I have to purchase.
Any recommendation?

Reverse engineering tool from the uml modeling tutorial

My problem arises at the point where the tutorial wants you to generate code. I generate the code for the bankAccount.java and the accountTest.java and that works fine. I add setBalance(getBalance()+amount); to bankAccount.java. I then add the main class to the AccountTest.java and reformat the code. That all works fine. Then when I do the reverse engineering going through steps 8-10, the Model Element Overwrite Authorization dialog box, never appears, and the main() method never gets written back into the AccountTest class. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

ANN: Reverse-engineering tool from Logic Explorers Inc.

Logic Explorers Inc. announces the beginning of the beta program for the CodeLogic
reverse-engineering and code analysis tool. CodeLogic is implemented as a plugin
for JBuilder, JDeveloper, and the standalone application. Among the major features:
- Analyses any Java source code
- Fully automatic generation of interactive UML Class and Sequence (sic!) diagrams
- Unique Execution Flow diagram
- Unique Variables Backtrack diagrams
- Graphical Code Navigator
- Zoom and filters
- Intelligent Diff utility
- Knowledge Base
To get more information, visit Logic Explorers Inc at
http://www.logicexplorers.com

I would go with the Forms-Builder itself. If you want to analyze the code and see what action is done at which point, its best to do this in the tool where you developed the application. (You also wouldn't analyze a .Net-application using Notepad ;) )

DATA MODELER: reverse engineering from existing database

After IMPORT -> Data Dictionary
Went thru dialog and Relational Model was displayed.
Sorry,
There was not relationship shown between each entity.
Right, no Bachman lines between the boxes.
Clicked the "<<" button to create Logical Model.
Again, no lines between the boxes.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Do you have foreign keys defined in database? Is it supported database or you use generic JDBC import?
Can you check log file for errors logged there? (it's in log directory of your installation)
You need foreign keys defined in relational model in order to get relationships in logical model.

Rational rose reverse engineer bug?

I have a problem to do reverse engineering via rational rose enterprise edition of 2002 on windows XP for my existing java project. If a class has multiple implementations, only the first inherit relationship will be shown. For example, if class A implements interface B, interface C and interface D. the rose will only shows class A has an inherit relationship with interface B. There is no relationship will be shown between class A and interface C and D but actually class A also implements them.
Anyone can help me find out what is wrong?

In rose:
Tools -> Java/J2Ee -> Reverse Engineer and then you set the classpath to what you want to reverse.

Rational Rose product and Forte

Has anyone used Rational Rose products and Forte? Could you post a short
summary that explains how easy/hard it is to work with and whether or not
the reverse engineering features work well?

Izzit possible to do reverse engineering in java code

the program will able to read the source code and draw a class diagram from the specified source code

usually you would start off with a class diagram (during the design phase) and then write the code (during the implementation phase). But if you start off with the code and then create a class diagram, then I would call it reverse engineering.
Rational Rose and Together do just that.

CASE tools for reverse engineering

Hi there, I need a CASE tool for do reverse engineering to java code. Can somebody recommend me someone?
Regards.

Do you mean a decompiler? There's jode, which I think is at sourceforge.
Do reverse engineering tools really come under the CASE rubric?

UML modeling by reverse-engineering a JAVA project

I can't seem to get over a basic hurdle to get started with UML modeling. I open an existing JAVA project. I then start a new project and choose "UML" and "-Platform model by reverse-engineering a JAVA project". Next I give the UML project a name and try to open my existing JAVA project. But the wizard does not show any project!
Appreciate your help.

UML in JSE8 can reverse engineer all 4 built-in types of Java project defined in IDE. To prove that, I just downloaded apache ant source 1.6.5 from http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi and successfully reverse engineered it with JSE8.
If you have a project with existing ant script , it's extremely easy, you absolutely don't need to hand-create a java project from scratch to specify source, library dependency etc. Just follow the wizard "create a Java project with existing ant script" to specify your Java project location, the ant script location, and * don't forget * to specify the source location. Any project without source folder specified is not considered a valid candidate for Reverse Engineer, and you won't see it listed under the project chooser in UML wizard when trying to associate the current UML project with a Java project. Please right click to bring up your source project properties to verify if you have source package folder correctly spelled out.
It IS a supported feature, do let us know if you still have troubles to RE your project.

Reverse engineering data model

Can rational rose reverse enginner data model from database (i.e. read the schema in db and then generate the ER diagram)?

Yes you can reverse engineer datamodel from database. Following steps will help you in doing it. I did it using Rational Rose 2001(a) Enterprise suite edition.
1. Go to Tools->DataModeler->Reverse Engineer option
2. Reverse engineering wizard dialog box will be shown.
3. Select Reverse engineer from Database
4. Select your target database. Enter username/password and service name
for your database.
5. Test connection option is also provided. You can test the connection using this option.
6. Available schemas in the selected database will be displayed.
7. Select the schema of your choice and it will generate the datamodel.
Hope it helped you.

UML Modeling Tool Suggestions?????

My group is in need of an inexpensive but good "UML Modeling Tool". We are currently looking at a tool ( Enterprise Architect ) that produces use case diagrams, object model diagrams and will produce stubs from the diagrams and will also reverse engineer. It cost about $150 per seat but has some serious short comings. We dont want anything major like "Rational Rose". Any tools anyone has experience with and can recommend that inlcude UML, use case diagrams and object model diagrams would be great.

Together cost a bit more then $150 but it worth it. Basically any piece of your code became the piece of class diagram or package diagram. The Feature Driven Development (not Use Case based approach you are looking for in a chip tool) is recommended for Together. Sometimes FDD is much more effective and it is very close to approach recommended by XP guys.

UML Modeling: Round Trip Engineering

Hi!
Yesterday I worked through and tested the UML Modeling: Developing Applications tutorial. Everything worked awsome and I managed to complete step in the tutorial.
Today, when I started the studio and wanted to play a little more with Round Trip Engineering I found something strange.
If I add an operation to the java-source using the source editor it do not show up in the UML class diagram but if I add an operation to the UML class diagram it shows up in the java-source.
Is it me that is doing anything wrong?
Is this a known issue/bug?
Win XP Professional
Java Studio Enterprise 8 with latest update today.
Sincerely,
// Paul

Paul,
Glad to hear you like the UML tool. Not sure which release/version you are working with so I'll try to cover all the bases hear.
The UML module was released with the Enterprise Pack (early access version I believe), the live roundtrip was still enabled. Then we pulled UML module out of the Enterprise Pack because we needed to do some overhauling of the roundtrip feature and we didn't want to prevent Enterprise Pack from going beta, so now UML is available via the beta update center. This version of UML has the live roundtrip disabled so that code is not generated with every model manipulation and the model is not updated with every source edit. It sounds like this is the version you are working with.
There is a strange scenario where the live roundtrip is unintentionally enabled (live roundtrip should never be enabled... ever - this is not your fault). A bug was filed and I fixed it, but the fix was integrated into a different branch than the one available via the update center. This is because we are about to release Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 and so we did all the bug fixing on that branch and all those fixes will be merged with the UML that is on the update center, probably in the next week or two, but a date has not been decided, yet.
In summary, rest assured that the issue (and many many others) have been addressed, and those fixes will be merged into the version available on the update center very soon.
Please keep the feedback coming on reverse engineering and code generation as we are rebuilding these features from scratch for NetBeans 6.
thanks
craig
