Enterprise Architect - New Version Features

Build and Run

This capability is available in the Professional and Corporate versions of EA, and provides developers with tools to integrate their UML development and modeling with their source development and compilation. With the ability to generate nUnit and jUnit test classes from source classes using MDA Transformations and integrate the test process directly into the EA IDE, it is now possible to integrate UML and modeling into the build/test/execute/deploy process.

Meta Object Facility (MOF)

Version 6.0 now offers support for exporting packages to XMI under the MOF 1.3 and MOF 1.4 standards. MOF models are created by assigning the stereotype metamodel to the package. MOF models may be exported to MOF 1.3 or MOF 1.4 XMI file specification.

Project Discussion Forum

The Project Discussion Forum can be used to keep the whole development team up to date. Use the Discussion Forum to discuss the development and progress of your projects. Various aspects of a project may be broken down into Categories and topics. Users may post message threads or reply to message threads within a particular topic. Within a discussion forum message post, you have the ability to link to various elements of a diagram. Discussion forums from other models are also available from within your current working model.
