Convert to Ecore Model [message #828362]

Hi,

I want to convert a UML Model to an Ecore Model. I can see the option in the menu UML Editor -> Convert to -> Ecore Model, but is not enabled.
And I also want to convert an Ecore Model to UML Model; but in this case I can't see the option Sample Reflective option -> Convert to UML Model.

I found this "You will need the org.eclipse.uml2.examples plug-ins to see those menu options."

I have installed Eclipse Indigo, UML2 Extender SDK and UML2 Tools. I check my installation and I can find these plug-ins:
org.eclipse.uml2.examples_3.0.0.v201005031530.jar
org.eclipse.uml2.examples.uml.ui_3.0.100.v201008191510.jar
org.eclipse.uml2.examples.uml.ui.source_3.0.100.v201008191510.jar
org.eclipse.uml2.examples.source_3.0.0.v201005031530.jar

What can I do?

Thanks for your help,

Ramón.

Hi

The options are only enabled when the selected object supports the
operation. For Convert to Ecore this requires that the selection is a
Package rather than a Resource or Class.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer.

Now I can convert a UML model to an Ecore and I also convert this Ecore to a UML.

Is possible to have the option Convert to UML Model in the menu Sample Reflective option?

And another question: Can both models (Ecore and UML) be synchronized?

Regards

Ramón.

Yes it's possible, but it probably won't happen because that would
either make Ecore depend on UML or require UML to poke things into an
Ecore editor which is slightly inelegant; you could try raising a Bugzilla.

Of course; it's only software. Kind of difficult so I would allow well
over a week to do so unless you are very familiar with Adapters and
Notifiers.

Is there a way to convert UML to ecore programmatically?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

If you have UML Examples installed there is a toolbar menu entry in the
UML Model Editor. It uses UMLUtils facilities that are callable.

Hi Max,

Take a look at

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.util.UMLUtil.convertToEcore(Package, Map<String, String>)

It takes a package and a Map of options (see
UMLUtil.UML2EcoreConverter.OPTION__* javadoc for descriptions) and returns
the converted EPackage(s).

There's also a convertFromEcore(...) for the reverse.

Regards,
Carsten
