which is the “cheapest” VPforUML and “cheapest” SDE edition with which I can generate code ?
I learned:
The VPforUML free edition cannot generate code.
The SDE for Eclipse free edition has GRAYED ( inactive ) menu items “update to code” and “select in code” if I click on a class in the class diagram so it cannot generate code.
but the promised menu entry in the Diagram Navigator when clicking on a class “update to code” and “select in code” do not exist even not as GRAYED ( inactive ) menu items.
I checked all the feature comparison charts,
but I missed WHICH is name of the feature ( of the commercial versions ) that indicates that this version enables code generation !
According to the comparison chart the Standard edition supports Code generation and Reverse engineering, but not roundtrip engineering. Is this incorrect???
Professional Edition of VP-UML and DB-VA supports round-trip engineering of Java. For SDE, besides SDE-VS that supports round-trip engineering of .NET code, all other SDEs support round-trip engineering of Java.
Does the Professional Edition support database generation from ER diagrams, and round-trip editing and engineering of generated code?
Professional Edition of all products support database generation from ERD. What do you mean round-trip engineering of generated code? The ORM code generation is in one direction only.
