how to add a method? [message #1036527]

Hi

Im trying to learn how to use Papyrus.

I have watched the video at http://www.papyrusuml.org/home/liblocal/docs/Documentation/Java-Code-Gen/Papyrus-GenJava-CreateModel.swf

In the video the user drags a class object onto the canvas, then using a icon that magically appears - and looks like a settings icon - she adds a method.

I am not getting this icon appearing.

I sometimes get a horizontal toolbar show, but I cannot see any icon there for adding an operation. And I do not know how or why this toolbar appears.

I also cannot see any operations icon in the toolbar on the side of the canvas.

Is this a bug, or am I looking in the wrong place, or not using Papyrus correctly?

Anton

---- UPDATE ----

I must have overlooked it. But I found the Operations item on main toolbox.

However, when I went to add an operation I get this error.

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
An EditPart has to be selectable (isSelectable() == true) in order to get selected.

What does this mean? Have I dont something wrong?

I'm just starting to use Papyrus, but so far it seems very powerful for an open source UML tool.

I was able to create a method by selecting the parent Object in the 'Model Explorer' and selecting New Child->Create a new Operation

Note that to see the method by selecting the element and choosing Show/Hide Contents (ghost icon)-> operations.

I succeeded in adding a class and then adding a method (operation). Problem is I can't figure out how to specify the return type.
Thanks!

Hi, Doug,

You need to add a parameter of direction-kind 'return'. Yes, a nice
little UML-ism. :-)

Cheers,

Christian
