Ahh yes, the saga of Teamwork.

I understand it was originally developed at GE Aerospace (my first
employer), and then sold to Cadre. Cadre later sold it to Cayenne, who
renamed it "ObjectTeam".

In the last 2 years, the following happened: Cayenne then sold it to
Sterling, who already had a CASE tool called COOL:JEX. They apparently
liked the name better than the product, as they dropped their COOL:JEX
codebase and renamed ObjectTeam as COOL:JEX. Then Sterling got bought
out by Computer Associates and briefly renamed it to COOL:Teamwork
before selling it to Telelogic a couple of months later. Telelogic
renamed it "Tau", then later "Tau UML Suite"


I used Teamwork back in the pre-UML days (1989), but we never tried
code generation or reverse engineers. I used the ObjectTeam (not
realizing it was the same product), and can vouch that its
reverse-engineering still sucked. For instance, it wanted to make each
enumeration type ID a class instance. %-(  I haven't used any of its
later incarnations, so I can't vouch for them.
