Can EA show the dependancies between packages like Visual Paradigm when reverse engineer Java code?


I am trying to reverse engineer a java project from source code into UML with EnterpriseArchitect. I want to see the dependencies between packages and also how classes are grouped together into packages.

I have also used VisualParadigm to do the same. The image shows a small sample:

Can the same(or very close to the above image) result be achieved with EA?


Solution

  • AFAIK EA will not create any package dependencies on RE. However, you can add those dependencies manually once the import is complete. Furthermore you can write a script that creates such dependencies automatically. I did so a couple of years ago. It was not too difficult - not trivial though :-)
