Hi there,
I'm starting using doxygen to generate documentation for my software.
The tricky point is that development is driven by UML methodology.
 From Rose tool (Rose 2002), UML model is entered and then C++ code
is partly generated:
<ul>
<li>
class declaration in header files</li>

<li>
skeletons for method bodies in .cc files</li>
</ul>
The point is that I would like documentation items to be entered while
I'm entering the model in Rose (for coherency reasons).&nbsp; An idea would
be to enter this information in the "Documentation" field for classes,
attributes, etc ... Then a Rose model parser would be able to retrieve
doc information from the model and generate C++ files (one file per class)
which would only contain Javadoc syntax.
Doxygen would then parse C++ code generated from Rose and C++ code generated
from the parser. A bad point is that when Rose generates the headers, documentation
information is inserted within Rose tokens ... useless and this makes noise
inside the code !
Does anybody here have experience such a thing ? Alternative solutions
?
By the way, I read some times a go investigations where on going about
having class diagrams in UML look. This would be quite nice !!
