Well it can still be useful for people who have bought older versions of EA, or who don’t want (or can’t) use a beta version ;)

I’ll try again the reverse engineering, it’s so useful ! I mush have done a mistake :)

If you're going to buy the program, might as well use the built in tool it comes with! :) I was able to get the thing working fine in both directions. Just followed directions from the help files. One thing I noticed was that it doesn't handle packages and imports too well. If ClassA and ClassB are both in package com.bit101, and ClassB extends ClassA, it will give you: class com.bit101.ClassB extends ClassA It doesn't do the full path of ClassA, and doesn't import com.bit101.

It's free and seems to be complete. http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2005/11/uml-to-as2-generator-for-enterprise-architect/ BTW did you try to make the reverse engineering with this beta version of a package to get the complete UML ? I tried but without success. I guess I made a mistake so if you know how to do it correctly, please teach me :) ++ Hi Keith
