Re: UML view for an EOModel

Hi Tobias

If you still have access to a Mac OS X 10.4.x machine, you could use =
EOModeler, which is the tool the entity model was made with, I assume =
(part of the old WebObjects). This is for sure the best way to get the =
diagram layed out and printed. Any other attempt with OmniGraffle etc. =
failed for me, way too much work to get the model aligned, and looses =
any topgraphical information on every import that follows. And, it does =
not display/handle the entity and relationships in a "good" way. Of =
course, this is my opinion only.

I would love to see the EOModeler back in WOLips, I think I remember =
that it was already half-way done but for some unknown reasons stopped. =
I even would pay something for it, and if we could find some developers =
also paying a bit, may be it could become a reality. Because we just =
need it as printout to discuss a new design, or an enhanced design =
already in production. There is just no other way to do it (can't be =
done on screen, as models are way too big). We therefor still use =
EOModel on Mac OS X, it's still somewhat forward compatible with Entity =
Modeler of WOLips (Except Super tpyes, Sub types, ...)

Best regards, Robert

PS: I would also change the tool if I could import our .eomodeld files.
