At work we have bought the Borland toolset for developing software. We’ve had a project team to implement and integrate these tools into a coherrent set. Frankly, they’re stil working on this toolset. Makes me wonder … Anyway, today I got a seat (i.e. access) for this envorinoment. I tried one thing: to make a half decent component diagram in Together, and it failed!
It amazes me that after spending so much money we’re unable to perform even the simplest of tasks. The idea is to make a component diagram, add a component and change its stereotype to e.g. <<subsystem>>. So far so good. However, there is an extra stereotype (<<component>>) which presumably represents the metaclass of the current element. Therefore, the component I just added has two stereotypes which is plain ugly. And there’s no way to get rid of the metaclass stereotype. Yuk! Time to start looking for another tool if you ask me.
