NewbieQuestion: Programmatic Creat UML model [message #470961]

Dear,

I am trying to follow the instruction "getting started with uml2" to learn
how to create uml models using java code. However, it showes error
message "the import *** cannot be resolved", e.g., the "import
org.eclipse.uml2.Model;"

Could you please give some instructions about the setting? e.g., should I
add some jar or libarary? which one should them be? where should them be
put?

Thank you very much!

Hi Jerry,

If you are using the latest version of opensource UML, the import should be

import org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Model;

If you can point out issues with the "getting started article" they will be
fixed ( it seems correct to me ).

Regards,

- James.

Thanks James!
I guess you are telling me the right import if I have the new version uml.
However I still have questions: 1st, The srouce code for "getting started"
article actually provides a plug-in, it defines the Plug-in dependecy,
which includes the jar files named: org.eclipse.core.runtime,
org.eclipse.uml2, org.eclipse.uml2.common, org.eclipse.emf.ecore,
org.eclipse.emf.common, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi, org.eclipse.osgi. But I
am working on a java project, so does this mean I have to do following? :
select project property--> java build path and select the Libraries -->
add external jars--> choose the jar files listed above. Otherwise, it
showes that""the import org.eclipse cannot be resolved" error.

Am I workin on the right way?
Thank you very much!

Hi Jerry,

To work with UML you need to download the opensource UML component with its
dependencies (EMF). The "getting started article" explains that.
From your other postings I assume that you are working with older code and
the newer version of the article (with source).
Start by getting all the latest UML components, then follow the article. The
article should explain all the details. I just verified the code in the
example and it looks fine.

Hi,

As my knowledge I think you haven't import appropriate plug-in
dependencies for import org.eclipse.uml2.Model.

So add org.eclipse.uml2.uml dependency to your plugin (If you are using
uml2.0).

Thanks.
