Documenting UML elements in Papyrus [message #695908] Tue, 12 July 2011 15:53 Go to next message

I was working with Papyrus in Helios the other day and I could not find a way to document a UML element. So, for example, if you click on a class in a diagram, all sorts of properties are displayed, but there is no where that I could type a description of that class. Another pertinent example would be an operation on a class - what if I want to add some documentation to just that operation and not the rest of the class?

Am I missing something critical here?

I could accomplish this using a note, but the result is a diagram full of notes and I can't access the documentation in a transformation to code.

Or you could ... use the "Documentation" view.

This view isn't in the default perspective, so you must add it with "Window>Show View" menu.

Use the "Comments" tab to add or display a UML Comment.
After that, you can still grab and drop the Comment if you want to display it in the diagram, but I must confess I couldn't find a way to graphically link it to the label.

In the latest version of Papyrus v0.9.1 is the Documentation view still available?

Hi, Keith,

It should be. Do you not see it in the Show View dialog?

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Christian,

No unfortunately I do not see "Documentation" in the Show View dialog.. I have uploaded a screen capture of what I do see in the Show View dialog.

Cheers,

Hi, Keith,

This is the Show View menu, not the dialog.

What do you see when you choose the "Other..." option to open the Show
View dialog?

If you don't see the Documentation view in there, then you might check
the workspace log for any messages indicating that there's something
wrong with that view contribution, or that the plug-in that contributes
it has unresolved dependencies, or something.

HTH,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Turns out that the Documentation view does not appear when Papyrus is installed with eclipse 4.2 (Juno), but it is there when Papyrus is installed with eclipse 3.7 (Indigo).



Thanks,
Keith

The only way is to manually checkout the sources from the Papyrus SVN repository. These plug-ins are not shipped with Papyrus anymore. They should be replaced with a newer version in Papyrus 0.10/Kepler (June 2013).

SVN repository: http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.mdt.papyrus/branches/0.9.X
