[Acceleo] Getting started example doesn't work [message #1047162]

Hi, I'm new to Acceleo and trying to get the Getting Started example (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Acceleo/Getting_Started) to work. My problem is that the screen shots in the wiki don't match up with what I'm seeing in Eclipse. For instance, the first screenshot I've attached (File-->New-->Acceleo Project) shows a window that has extra fields compared to the wiki.

That might be OK, but when I click Next, the next window has an empty Metamodel URIs window, and I cannot put in the UML 3.3.0 URI given in the example. When I entered the URI in a browser I get a 404.

Could somebody point me to instructions that can get me going, or fixes for the problems that I'm having? I'm running Juno SR1, Acceleo 3.3.1 as shown in the screenshot.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
You have simply newer version of acceleo than described in the tutorial, don't panic. Wink

But about the metamodel... You may haven't installed the uml2 feature. It is not required by acceleo. Try to click the "+" button right to the "metamodel URI" field; in the dialog try to write *UML and look for the something_i_dont_remember.uml2.3.0.0
If it appears - choose it, if not - install the uml2 feature first (it is not acceleo feature but eclipse itself)

T.B.

I tried to find UML2 as a download for Eclipse but couldn't. This post in the forums indicates that UML2 is dead and I should use Papyrus. The only Papyrus I found was Mylyn Context Connector: Papyrus UML (Incubation) under Collaboration, and Papyrus SDK Binaries which I had already installed as part of Modeling. I installed the Mylyn Papyrus package, hoping that it might be enough, but it wasn't. Do I need to install Papyrus? If so, where do I get it? This unresolved dependency issue is rapidly becoming frustrating.

Hi

You can't be trying very hard. MDT/UML2 is one of the most important
Eclipse Modeling projects.

It is UML2 Tools that is dead.
