Comment 1 Thuy.d Nguyen 2007-05-24 19:30:03 UTC 
Currently, to those projects that Reverse Engineer does not apply, e.g. Ruby
project and SOA project, the menu item 'Reverse Engineer...' is grayed out on
the context menu of these projects.  It would be good if the menu  item is being
removed instead of being grayed out.   Investigating the solution ...
Comment 2 George Vasick 2007-06-19 00:03:21 UTC 
The Reverse Engineer menu item belongs everywhere java source can exist.  This is by design.
Comment 3 Yang Su 2007-06-20 01:16:39 UTC 
'Reverse Engineer' menu item currently penetrates to all project nodes, all file folders and all java file nodes, even
on UML project node itself! This presence is perceived by some users a big usability issue, regardless of the fact it's
correctly grayed out in some situations.
Comment 4 Yang Su 2007-06-20 01:30:08 UTC 
For lack of a direct API, we have to implement RE action as ContextAwareAction to handle low level logic for popup
presenter. Also made changes to enabling logic, see issue 104343.
