Changes in Sirius 3.0.0

User-Visible Changes

• Added The ability to print table representations has been re-introduced.
• Added The quick outline feature has been added for tree and table editors, see documentation for details.
• Added The label of a list or container can now be hidden by the user from the outline, the tabbar or the contextual menu.
• Added In the Appearance tab, in addition to Bold and Italic, it is now possible to set the font formatting style to Underline and Strike through (or any combination of these).
• Added Container elements on diagrams now support vertical and horizontal compartments layout (this is only visible if the modeler configuration makes use of this new feature).
• Added In table and tree editors, a Refresh can now be launched by hitting F5 like in diagrams (previously the only way was to click on the Refresh icon or menu item).
• Added In table editors, hitting the Del key is now equivalent to selecting Delete Line in the context menu.
• Added On diagrams, it is now possible to set a custom background image on list containers.
• Modified In the Viewpoint Selection dialog and wizard page, the «plug-in» decorator for viewpoints loaded from plug-ins is removed, and a «Folder» decorator for viewpoints loaded from the current workspace has been added. This makes the icons more visible in the most common where viewpoints come from installed plug-ins.

Specifier-Visible Changes

• Added Experimental Optional support for the experimental Acceleo Query Language (AQL) has been added to write interpreted expressions. It is provided by the org.eclipse.sirius.common.acceleo.aql (required for evaluating the expressions) and org.eclipse.sirius.common.acceleo.aql.ide (optional, only needed to provide specification-time features like expression completion) plug-ins. AQL is similar to Acceleo 3/MTL, but simpler and provides much better performance in the Sirius context. If you make use of this feature, be aware that some details may still change in future releases, including 3.0.x maintenance releases. See the AQL documentation for more details on the language itself.
• Added Experimental New, experimental support for containers with vertical or horizontal compartments on diagrams: the children presentation property of a Container Mapping has two new values: Vertical Stack and Horizontal Stack. They indicate that a container will present its children containers as a vertical/horizontal stack of compartments. While working reliably, this support is marked experimental in Sirius 3.0.0 as there are still some combinations of mappings, styles and behaviors which do not behave as expected. If you make use of this feature, be aware that some details may still change in future releases, including 3.0.x maintenance releases.
• Added Everywhere an image path can be configured in the VSM, a new button is present on the right of the text field. It opens a dialog to select an image, either from the workspace or from an installed plug-in.
• Added Everywhere an interpreted expression can be configured in the VSM, a new button is present on the right of the text field. It opens a multi-line dialog to edit long expression more easily. Auto-completion is supported inside the multi-line dialog.
• Added Compressed SVG images ( *.svgz) are now supported everywhere normal SVG images were supported.
• Added When developing a modeler in «live mode», with the VSM in the same workspace as the sample session(s) which use it, VSM expressions which use service: or aql: can now invoke Java services which are defined in the workspace (with no need to launch a separate runtime).
• Added A quick outline is now accessible in the VSM editor by using the shortcut Ctrl+o. It supports filtering on both an element’s name and properties for quick, keyboard-only navigation in complex VSMs.
• Added The «hide label by default capability» has been added to the container styles.
• Added In addition to Bold and Italic, Underline and Strike Through styles have been added on the label font format.
• Improved Many VSM elements which are required are now created automatically. For example the default layer of a Diagram Description is automatically added to new Diagram Descriptions.
• Improved Some default values have been modified to better reflect actual usage. This does not impact existing VSM and only applies to newly created elements.
  • The label position on a Node mapping is now node by default (instead of border before).
  • The Arc Width and Arc Height are now 10 by default (instead of 1 before).
  • The Enable popup bars is now set by default on new diagrams.
  • No default value for interpreted expressions use the Acceleo 3 / MTL syntax anymore, but only use the core var: and feature: interpreters, which are always present.
• Improved The precision of the VSM validation, especially regarding the typing of computed expressions, has been greatly improved. Other validation rules like static image paths have also been added or improved.
• Modified In the VSM editor, the context menu entries (categories and items) have been reorganized to put most common actions/items first.
• Modified In diagrams, the style previously named «Lozenge» is now called «Diamond».
• Modified In the Open menu on a representation, the menu is computed from the navigation tool’s label instead of its name/id.
• Modified All Acceleo 3 references have been removed from the Sirius metamodels to avoid a dependency to Acceleo 3. An automatic migration has been added during the loading of the VSM to avoid a change of behavior. This migration adds explicitly the old default value ( [eContents()->size()/]) in the VSM, that was implicit before. Customers who want to completely remove this dependency must remove the Acceleo 3 expressions from there VSM after the migration.
• Modified The default icons paths of Selection Wizard and Pane-Based Selection Wizard used to reference invalid icons, so the corresponding tools had no icon per default in the palette. The default icons paths have been corrected to reference the icons displayed for those elements in the VSM editor.
• Modified " *" can now be used as feature name of a table’s Feature Column to skip the feature name validation during the cell creation. This allow to compute the label of cells for lines whose semantic element types have no common EStructuralFeature (inherited or with same name).

Developer-Visible Changes

The most important and impacting changes in this release are (details below in plug-in specific sections):

• Added The new extension point org.eclipse.sirius.ui.siriuspropertiescelleditor, defined in org.eclipse.sirius.ui, can be used to provide customized cell editors for semantic element’s properties as shown in the properties view on a Sirius representation.
• Added The new class org.eclipse.sirius.eef.components.SiriusAwarePropertiesEditingComponent can be used as root class of the generated EEF components to greatly improve performances when using both EEF properties views with Sirius representations.
• Modified The minimum version of EEF required for using org.eclipse.sirius.eef.adapters is now 1.5.0 (from 1.2 before). EEF 1.5 is source and binary-compatible with EEF 1.2 to 1.4, and no re-generation of the EEF views should be needed to switch to 1.5.
• Modified The org.eclipse.sirius.business.internal.session.IsModifiedSavingPolicy saving policy, introduced in Sirius 2.0.0 but not enabled at that time is now the default. The previous implementation, org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.SavingPolicyImpl is still available if needed.
• Modified All metamodels defined by Sirius have been modified to use EMF’s MinimalEObjectImpl.Container as base class, which reduces memory consumption compared to previous versions.
• Modified The RGBValues type used in Sirius to represent colors has been converted into an immutable EMF EDataType, which also reduces memory consumption compared to previous versions.
• Modified The AirdResourceImpl type, use for the *.aird resources, no longer inherits from GMF’s GMFResource or depend on GMF in any way. This makes the org.eclipse.sirius now completely independent on GMF.
• Modified The DAnalsysis.models reference has been replaced by the DAnalsysis.semanticModels attribute, in conjunction with the new ResourceDescriptor data-type. The DAnalysis.getModels() Java method is still present for compatibility and returns the same values, but the returned list can not be modified. All changes must be made directly on DAnalsysis.semanticModels and will be reflected in the value returned by DAnalysis.getModels(). While not technically deprecated yet, DAnalysis.getModels() should be avoided and may be removed in a future release.
• Moved Extensions in plugin.xml that provide UI functionalities have been moved to new org.eclipse.sirius.*.ext plug-ins, to make the contributions to the UI optional. If your product consumed directly the Sirius plug-ins instead of the high-level features, you may need to add the new plug-ins if you want the Sirius UI contributions to stay available.
• Removed Many unused types defined in the metamodels have been removed. This should not impact normal client code. Existing models will be automatically migrated on loading if needed.
• Removed Sirius no longer installs the AirDCrossReferenceAdapterImpl, which was a subclass of GMF’s CrossReferenceAdapter on session resources ( *.aird). If your code relied on GMF’s implementation to find inverse references, it can use the Sirius session’s Session.getSemanticCrossReferencer() instead, which provides the same service (and more) and avoids the redundant installation of GMF’s version.

Packaging changes:

• Added Two new feature have been added concerning the new support for the AQL language:
  • org.eclipse.sirius.runtime.aql includes the minimum required to execute AQL queries at runtime. It must be present on end-users' systems for modelers which use AQL expressions to work.
  • org.eclipse.sirius.aql includes both the runtime requirements and the development-time features like support for auto-completion of AQL expressions in the VSM editor.
• Added The new feature org.eclipse.sirius.specifier includes everything needed to have a complete Sirius specification environment, with support for all dialects. It includes support for Acceleo 3/MTL queries, but not for AQL (provided by org.eclipse.sirius.aql) or OCL (provided by org.eclipse.sirius.runtime.ocl). Future Sirius releases will probably swap AQL and Acceleo 3, making AQL the defaut and part of the main feature, and Acceleo 3/MTL optional in a separate feature.
• Added All Sirius releases and milestones are available as zipped archives in addition to a normal p2 repository/update-site. For each version and platform (e.g. 3.0.0 on Eclipse Mars), two archives are available: one with the Sirius core, and one with the Sirius automated test suites and the sample modelers they rely on. See the Sirius wiki and release pages for more details and links to these archives, for example http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/releases/2.0.5/. This is retro-active on all previously released versions of Sirius, but not on milestones before 3.0.0.

Other changes:

• Added Sirius now provides an Oomph setup file to automatically create a fully configured Eclipse installation ready for contributing patches to Sirius. The latest version can be obtained here.
• Added New patches proposed by contributors on the Sirius Gerrit now automatically trigger a sub-set of the Sirius automated test suites, which give a good feedback on the absence of regressions introduced by the proposed patch.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.common

• Added The org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.SiriusCrossReferenceAdapter interface and the org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.SiriusCrossReferenceAdapterImpl have been added to have the capability to disable the proxy resolution. This feature is typically used to prevent loading a resource during its unloading. Warning : Every additional custom CrossReferenceAdapter should extend SiriusCrossReferenceAdapterImpl or at least implement SiriusCrossReferenceAdapter with the same implementation as SiriusCrossReferenceAdapterImpl.
• Added org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.ECrossReferenceAdapterWithUnproxyCapability is a specific kind of SiriusCrossReferenceAdapter. It provides the capability to resolve all proxy cross references to a given resource. It is now used by the Session as semantic cross referencer. This type is exposed as API but it is not intended to be used/referenced/extended by user code (as the below LazyCrossReferencer type).
• Added The static method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.ReflectionHelper.getFieldValueWithoutException(Class<?>, String) has been added to return an internal static value of a class.
• Added org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.resource.ResourceSetSync has a new state CHANGES_CANCELED used to define the state where the user canceled its changes.
• Added The org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.resource.ImageFileFormat class has been added (it was in org.eclipse.sirius.ext.swt before).
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.EclipseUtil.getConfigurationElementsFor() has been added: it calls org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getExtensionRegistry().getConfigurationElementsFor() only if Platform.isRunning().
• Added The interface org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.migration.IMigrationParticipant exposes a new method postXMLEndElement([..]) which is called during a migration operation. This method should be overridden by participants which have to hook the loading process after each end of XML tag. The corresponding abstract class org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.migration.AbstractMigrationParticipant provides a default empty implementation.
• Added A new class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.JavaExtensionsManager can now be used by langages interpreters to benefit from a consistent handling of Java extensions and support for loading Java services from the workspace.
• Added The class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.TypeName has been introduced to represent in the codebase any type which was previously represented as a plain String.
• Added A new interface org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.TypedValidation has been introduced for IInterpreter implementations able to provide richer information when validating an expression. This information is captured through a org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.ValidationResult instance.
• Added The class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.VariableType has been introduced to represent the possible types a variable can have in a Viewpoint specification model.
• Added The utility class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.IInterpreterContextUtils has been introduced to factorize code related to managing IInterpreterContext instances.
• Added The class org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.description.MultiLanguagesValidator has been introduced to provide a safe and more efficient way to switch to the proper IInterpreter instance when validating expressions.
• Added Removed The class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.RefreshIdFactory has been replaced with org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.RefreshIdsHolder which no longer rely on a global singleton but attach information to an EObject representing the current scope. This impacts org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.query.AbstractDNodeQuery , org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.CartesianProduct and org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.EObjectCouple which are now requiring now a RefreshIdsHolder instance.
• Modified org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.LazyCrossReferencer now extends ECrossReferenceAdapterWithUnproxyCapability and implements resolveProxyCrossReferences(Resource).
• Moved The org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.LazyCrossReferencer.enableResolve() and disableResolve() methods has been moved to SiriusCrossReferenceAdapter.enableResolveProxy() and disableResolveProxy().
• Modified The static method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.DefaultInterpreterContextFactory.createInterpreterContext(...) now requires a Map<String, VariableType> for the accessible variables instead of a Map<String, String>.
• Modified The methods org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.IInterpreterContext.getVariables() and org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.description.IInterpretedExpressionQuery.getAvailableVariables() are now returning a map containing VariableType instances instead of encoded Strings.
• Modified The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.IInterpreterStatus.getTargetTypes() no longer returns a list of encoded Strings but a VariableType instance instead.
• Deprecated The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.IInterpreterContext.getTargetTypes() has been deprecated in favor of org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.interpreter.IInterpreterContext.getTargetType() which returns a VariableType instance instead of encoded Strings.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui

• Added Classes from org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui.tools.api.dialog.quickoutline packages are available in API to allow editor to provide quick outline feature easily.
• Moved Extensions in plugin.xml that provide UI functionalities have been moved to org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui.ext.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius

• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.danalysis.DAnalysisSessionHelper.findContainerForAddedRepresentation(DAnalysis, DRepresentation) has been added to return a DRepresentationContainer from the DAnalysis parameter and the added DRepresentation.
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.migration.IMigrationParticipant.updateCreatedObject(EObject newObject, String loadedVersion) has been added to update object values in VSM before loading this objects from XML file.
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.ui.RefreshEditorsPrecommitListener.disable() has been added to disable the next refresh attempt in the current precommit loop iteration.
• Added The new constant org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.helper.SiriusUtil.ENVIRONMENT_URI_SCHEME declares environment URI scheme.
• Added The new constant org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.helper.SiriusUtil.VIEWPOINT_ENVIRONMENT_RESOURCE_URI declares environment:/viewpoint resource URI.
• Added The new constant org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.description.util.DescriptionResourceImpl.OPTION_SIRIUS_USE_URI_FRAGMENT_AS_ID added to define a option to enable the use of a id map for odesign resource, id being uri’s fragment.
• Added The query org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.query.EObjectQuery has now a new constructor with an additional parameter, ECrossReferenceAdapter. This can be usefull if there is many calls to inverse references methods for the same Session. This avoids to get the semantic cross referencer from the EObject each time. This query also proposes a new method getInverseReferences(Set<EReference>).
• Added There is a new capability on Dialect. This capability is to refresh only impacted elements concerned by a list of notifications. It is used, for example, to refresh the opened representations when the user chooses manual refresh mode. Each dialect that want to offer this capability must implement org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.DialectServices.refreshImpactedElements(DRepresentation, Collection<Notification>, IProgressMonitor). A default implementation that does nothing is done in org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.AbstractRepresentationDialectServices.
• Added A new method has been added in the query org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.query.DAnalysisQuery named getMainModels(). This method returns a Set of the main model and the other non controlled models.
• Added A new method has been added in org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DAnalysis named getSemanticResources(). This method returns a list of org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.resource.ResourceDescriptor which is a descriptor of the semantic resource.
• Modified org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.RGBValues has been changed from an EClass to an EDataType, it is not an EObject anymore.
• Added The API org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.metamodel.helper.FontFormatHelper has been added. It helps to update label format multi valued features.
• Modified org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.SessionListener.SEMANTIC_CHANGE is no more send to SessionListener and SessionManagerListener listeners on save when a semantic resource is saved. Use a ResourceSyncClient listener on ResourceSetSync to have know if a semantic resource is saved.
• Modified The default constructor has been changed in org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.command.semantic.RemoveSemanticResourceCommand.
  • The boolean value removeReferencingResources has been added to indicate if the referencing resources are also to remove.
  • The boolean value removeFromControlledResources has been removed because controlled resources are managed internally.
• Modified The boolean value removeReferencingResources has been added in org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.Session.removeSemanticResource method to indicate if the referencing resources are also to remove.
• Modified The getModels() method in org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DAnalysis returns a non-modifiable list. Use getSemanticResources() instead.
• Moved The isBbocked() and setBlocked() methods on the org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DAnalysisSessionEObject EClass have been removed, as they were not actually used in the internal code.
• Deprecated org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.helper.task.ICommandTask.undo()/redo() methods are deprecated because they are useless since undo/redo is managed by EMF Transaction.
• Deprecated org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.command.IUndoableCommand interface are deprecated because it is useless since undo/redo is managed by EMF Transaction.
• Deprecated org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.helper.task.TaskExecutor.undo()/redo() methods are deprecated because they are useless since undo/redo is managed by EMF Transaction.
• Removed The org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.Session.createSemanticResource() method has been removed. Use Session.addSemanticResource() instead.
• Removed The ExtendedPackage EDataType which was defined in the http://www.eclipse.dev/sirius/1.1.0 package was not actually used anywhere and has been removed.
• Removed The DView methods getAllRepresentations(), getReferencedRepresentations() and getHiddenRepresentations() have been removed: getReferencedRepresentations() and getHiddenRepresentations() were never actually used, making getAllRepresentations() strictly equivalent to getOwnedRepresentations(). Code that used getAllRepresentations() can simply use getOwnedRepresentations() instead.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DSourceFileLink has been removed.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DNavigable has been removed.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DNavigationLink has been removed.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DValidable has been removed.
• Removed The enum org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.NavigationTargetType has been removed.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DLabelled has been removed.
• Removed The API org.eclipse.sirius.viewpoint.DContainer has been removed.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.ui

• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.dialect.DialectUIServices.completeToolTipText(String, EObject, EStructuralFeature) has been added to customize the tooltip displayed in the VSM editor by using the feature of the current object. The old method org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.dialect.DialectUIServices.completeToolTipText(String, EObject) has been deprecated.
• Added The class org.eclipse.sirius.ui.tools.api.properties.SiriusExtensiblePropertySource has been added. It allows developers to make their properties views CellEditor customizable by using the new extension point org.eclipse.sirius.ui.siriuspropertiescelleditor
• Added The interface org.eclipse.sirius.ext.emf.ui.ICellEditorProvider has been added to allow clients to provide their own CellEditor - in the Sirius semantic properties views – through the new extension point org.eclipse.sirius.ui.siriuspropertiescelleditor.
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.session.IEditingSession.detachEditor(DialectEditor, boolean) has been added to choose whether we should revert the user changes when detaching the editor.
• Added A org.eclipse.sirius.ui.tools.api.views.LockDecorationUpdater is now available to add it on a org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator to be refreshed when notifications are send to org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.permission.IAuthorityListener.
• Added A new job org.eclipse.sirius.ui.tools.api.views.RefreshLabelImageJob has been added to refresh the icon of specified elements on a org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator.
• Moved Extensions in plugin.xml that provide UI functionalities have been moved to org.eclipse.sirius.ui.ext.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender

• Modified The method org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.accessor.ModelAccessor.eRemoveInverseCrossReferences() has been changed to return the list of changed objects by the inverse cross references removal.
• Modified The method org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.accessor.IMetamodelExtender.eRemoveInverseCrossReferences() has been changed to return the list of changed objects by the inverse cross references removal.
• Modified The method org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.accessor.CompositeMetamodelExtender.eRemoveInverseCrossReferences() has been changed to return the list of changed objects by the inverse cross references removal.
• Removed The exception org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.IllegalURIException has been removed. It was not actually thrown anywhere in the code.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.editor

• Added The static method org.eclipse.sirius.editor.tools.api.assist.TypeContentProposalProvider.bindPluginsCompletionProcessors(AbstractPropertySection, Text) has been added. This method is very similar to org.eclipse.sirius.editor.tools.api.assist.TypeContentProposalProvider.bindCompletionProcessor(AbstractPropertySection, Text), the difference is that it binds the completion processors available in plugins to the text.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram

• Added The org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.tools.api.command.ChangeLayerActivationCommand has been added. This command was previously internal.
• Added The new constant org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.helper.SiriusDiagramUtil.DIAGRAM_ENVIRONMENT_RESOURCE_URI declares the environment:/diagram resource URI.
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.diagramtype.IDiagramDescriptionProvider.completeToolTipText(String, EObject, EStructuralFeature) has been added to customize the tooltip displayed in the VSM editor by using the feature of the current object. The old method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.diagramtype.IDiagramDescriptionProvider.completeToolTipText(String, EObject) has been deprecated.
• Added New methods have been added to org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.query.ContainerMappingQuery to test the children presentation mode of the current ContainerMapping: isVerticalStackContainer(), isHorizontalStackContainer(), isRegionContainer() and isRegion().
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.query.AbstractDNodeQuery now requires a org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.RefreshIdsHolder to check for equality in the context of a refresh operation.
• Removed The DNodeList.lineWidth attribute has been removed from the metamodel, the corresponding generated elements do not exist anymore: org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.DNodeList.getLineWidth(), org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.DNodeList.setLineWidth(), org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.DiagramPackage.DNODE_LIST__LINE_WIDTH, org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.DiagramPackage.getDNodeList_LineWidth(), org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.DiagramPackage.Literals.DNODE_LIST__LINE_WIDTH().
• Removed org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ComputedStyleDescriptionRegistry.cache reference has been removed from the metamodel as it is no more useful, to limit memory consumed by computed StyleDescription we directly look for them in the ComputedStyleDescriptionRegistry.computedStyleDescriptions list.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui

• Added Modified The org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.ImageFigureWithAlpha interface has been added to identify Figures having the capability to return an alpha value from a coordinate. org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.AbstractCachedSVGFigure and org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.AbstractTransparentImage now implement this new interface.
• Added The method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.locator.DBorderItemLocator.resetBorderItemMovedState() has been added to allow to reset the state of borderItemHasMoved. This method must be used carefully only in case where setConstraint(Rectangle) is called to compute temporary a getValidLocation(Rectangle, IFigure, Collection, List), one time with a new value and just after with the old value.
• Added The constant org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.image.DiagramImagesPath.HIDDEN_LABEL_DECORATOR has been added to represent the path of hidden label decorator used in the outline.
• Added The class org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.provider.DDiagramElementContainerLabelItemProvider has been added to represent container and list labels as virtual nodes in the Show/Hide wizards.
• Modified The org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.locator.DBorderItemLocator did not take into account the rectangle size passed to getValidLocation. To resolve that limitation, several protected methods that took a Point as location now take a Rectangle:
  • locateOnBorder(Point, int, int, IFigure, Collection<IFigure>, List<IFigure>) now takes a Rectangle instead a Point: locateOnBorder(Rectangle, int, int, IFigure, Collection<IFigure>, List<IFigure>);
  • locateOnSouthBorder, locateOnNorthBorder, locateOnWestBorder and locateOnEastBorder signatures is now (Rectangle, int, IFigure, Collection<IFigure>, List<IFigure>);
  • locateOnParent signature is now locateOnParent(Rectangle, int, IFigure);
  • conflicts signature is now conflicts(Rectangle, IFigure, Collection<IFigure>, List<IFigure>).
• Moved The constant DiagramImagesPath.LINK_TO_VIEWPOINT_IMG has been moved to org.eclipse.sirius.ui.tools.api.image.ImagesPath.LINK_TO_VIEWPOINT_IMG. This is more coherent because the corresponding image is in core org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui plugin.
• Moved org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.layout.PinHelper moved from org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui plugin to org.eclipse.sirius.diagram plugin, i.e. org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.tools.api.layout.PinHelper with PinHelper.IsPinned(IDiagramElementEditPart) removed in favor of PinHelper.IsPinned(DDiagramElement).
• Moved External java actions declared as org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.internal.actions.pinning.pinElementsActionId and org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.internal.actions.pinning.unpinElementsActionId are now declared as org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.tools.internal.actions.pinning.pinElementsActionId and org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.tools.internal.actions.pinning.unpinElementsActionId in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram plugin.
• Moved Extensions in plugin.xml that provides UI functionalities have been moved to org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.ext.
• Deprecated org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.util.GMFNotationHelper.findGMFDiagram() became deprecated in favor of DiagramCreationUtil.findAssociatedGMFDiagram()/getAssociatedGMFDiagram()
• Removed The org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.edit.api.part.IDiagramEdgeEditPart.getEAdapterStrokeColor method has been removed as the corresponding adapter was uneffective and is no more used and installed on the edge edit parts.
• Removed org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.InvisibleResizableCompartmentFigure class has been removed, use a org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui.figures.ShapeCompartmentFigure with a org.eclipse.draw2d.MarginBorder or a null border instead.
• Removed The method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.edit.api.part.IDiagramElementEditPart.getEAdapterSemanticElements() has been removed (and all its implementations). For manual refresh, this adapter has been replaced with the RefreshEditorsPrecommitListener.
• Removed The method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.part.SiriusDiagramEditorUtil.findView() has been deleted in flavor of SiriusGMFHelper.getGmfView(). If you was using SiriusDiagramEditorUtil.findView() with a semantic element in parameter, retrieve before the corresponding DDiagram or DDiagramElement and use SiriusGMFHelper.getGmfView(DSemanticDecorator) from this last to get the corresponding GMF View. To get a DDiagram or DDiagramElement from a semantic element, you can use EObjectQuery.getInverseReferences(EReference) API, see org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.view.ValidateAction.getDSemanticDecorator() for an example.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.table

Now, downstream projects can define features that do not contain org.eclipse.sirius.xxx.ui.ext, allowing them not have all that functionalities they may not want.

Changes in Sirius 2.0.0

User-Visible Changes

• It is now possible to select element that intersects the selection rectangle and not that is completely contained by the selection rectangle. This new behavior is enabled when user selects elements from right to left. The normal mode (previous mode) remains when the user selects elements from left to right.
• The edges appearance is now kept, as much as possible, when one of its extremity is moved. A move of an extremity should move only the closest segment of the edge.
• The edges appearance is kept as much as possible when a node (container or not) is moved. A move of a node now impacts only the closest segment of the linked edges.

• When a node, container or not, is resized to the left, upwards, or both, the location of its children (elements inside a container and border nodes) is not changed. It is possible to retrieve the previous behavior by pressing the F3 function key during the resize.

• The «snap to shapes» is now enabled by default (see Sirius > Sirius Diagram > Rulers and Grid preference page). This is true only for new diagrams. The existing diagrams are not impacted.
• The «Navigate» top-level contextual menu entry with mixed actions for creating new representations and opening existing ones has been changed by two top-level menus:
  • One named «New», which lists only the available actions to create new representations on the selected element.
  • One named «Open», which lists only the existing representations on the selected element.
• When a shape is resized (no matter the direction), the edge(s) connection location (toward or from this one) is kept. Before that, edges connections moved according to the ratio of the resizing.

Example with this initial state before resizing:

Result after resizing without this feature (the edges have moved):

Result after resizing with this feature (the edges keep the same location):

• There is now the possibility to distribute the selected shapes (see Sirius User Manual/Diagrams/Features Overview/Distribute elements for more details):
  • Distribute gaps horizontally
  • Distribute centers horizontally
  • Distribute gaps vertically
  • Distribute centers vertically
• The end user can now remove all bend-points between the two edge ends. This action is available on edge context menu «Remove Bend-points» or by using the shortcut «Ctrl» + «Shift» + «-».
• Reconnection of an edge will only now move the minimum necessary bendpoints instead of reseting it to default.
• A new action has been added to reset the diagram (or container) origin: the diagram (or container) bounds (the rectangle formed by the highest, the leftmost, the lowest and the rightmost children elements) can have a negative origin or can be shifted toward the bottom-right with a blank zone at the top-left. This action aims to move all diagram (or container) elements so that the it retrieves its origin while keeping elements layout.

Specifier-Visible Changes

• The specifier can now choose to hold the edge ends toward the center of the source, target or both. New fields within the «advance» tab of EdgeStyle description have been added to choose for which source or target mappings an edge should be centered. See Edges Styles > Edge Centering in the specifier manual for more details.
• When creating a new Viewpoint Specification Project using the supplied wizard: New > Viewpoint Specification Project, the VSM name is now given according to the project name. If the project name is suffixed with «design», the VSM name is provided by the last word before this suffix. Otherwise, the VSM name is given by the last word of the project name.
• «Lozenge» is replaced by «Diamond» in diagram style.

API Changes

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius

• The org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.ViewpointSelector class has been added, with easy-to-use methods to select/deselect viewpoint in a given session.
• The VIEWPOINT_REGISTRY_INITIAL_SIZE preference and VIEWPOINT_REGISTRY_INITIAL_SIZE_DEFAULT_VALUE default value has been removed from org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.preferences.DCorePreferences.
• The method org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.query.DRepresentationQuery.isDanglingRepresentation() has been added to introduce the possibility to check if a representation is a dangling representation, ie. if its a DSemanticDecorator, its target is null or does not belong to a session.
• org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.permission.exception.LockedInstanceException now can take several EObjects in constructor and a method LockedInstanceException.getLockedElements() has been added to get all EObjects put in constructor.

org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.command.InvalidPermissionCommand now can take several EObjects in constructor to throw a LockedInstanceException with several EObjects.

• The org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.helper.task.AbstractDeleteDRepresentationElementTask class has been renamed into DeleteEObjectTask.
• The interface org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.command.listener.IChangeListener and all classes related to this mechanism ( ChangeListenerFactory, TriggerOperation) have been removed as this mechanism proves to be inefficient. It can be replaced by a pre/post commit listener or a org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.session.ModelChangeTrigger
• The org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.ui.IExternalAction2 interface has been removed. It was created to disable some IChangeListener when the action indicates it will not delete elements.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.DialectServices.refresh(DRepresentation, boolean, IProgressMonitor has been added to specify if we want partial refresh or not. By default partial refresh is done. full refresh is only implements for tree dialect.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.AbstractRepresentationDialectServices.refresh(DRepresentation, IProgressMonitor) has been added to call by default DialectServices.refresh(DRepresentation, false, IProgressMonitor) to do a partial refresh.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.command.RefreshRepresentationsCommand.RefreshRepresentationsCommand(TransactionalEditingDomain, boolean, IProgressMonitor, DRepresentation...) and RefreshRepresentationsCommand(TransactionalEditingDomain, boolean, IProgressMonitor, Collection<DRepresentation>) constructors has been added to specify a partial refresh or a full refresh.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.dialect.DRepresentationNotificationFilter has been added to have

• org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.profiler.SiriusTasksKey.CHANGE_SWT_LINE_COLAPSE_STATE_KEY constant has been deprecated in favor of SiriusTasksKey.CHANGE_SWT_LINE_COLLAPSE_STATE_KEY to fix a typo.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.color.AbstractColorUpdater.DEFAULT_RED_VALUE/DEFAULT_GREEN_VALUE/DEFAULT_BLUE_VALUE constants have been added to have access to default RGBValues's values. This is used during refresh when there isn’t any ColorDescription, for example in tree dialect where background color definition is optional.
• The org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.tool.ToolFilterDescriptionListener.ToolFilterDescriptionListener() constructor now takes an IInterpreter as additional parameter to capture the current interpreter and avoid calls to the IInterpreterRegistry for each evaluation of the tool filter expressions.
• org.eclipse.sirius.business.api.query.AirdResourceQuery.getAirDCrossReferenceAdapter() and org.eclipse.sirius.business.internal.resource.AirdCrossReferencerAdapter have been removed. The adapter was here to customize GMF’s own org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.emf.core.util.CrossReferenceAdapter. However considering the way Sirius uses GMF, this adapter is not needed.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.ui

• In org.eclipse.sirius.ui.business.api.session.UserSession, the methods selectSirius(), selectOnlySirius() and findSiriusByName() have been renamed into selectViewpoint(), selectOnlyViewpoint() and findViewpointByName() to correct a wrong rebranding.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.common

• The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.resource.ResourceSetSync.getResourceSetSync(TransactionalEditingDomain) has been added to look for a ResourceSetSync without creating a new one if no synchronizer currently exists.
• The class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.util.SmartAdapter has been removed as this mechanism proves to be inefficient. The only user of this mechanism was the org.eclipse.sirius.tools.api.command.listener.IChangeListener which has also been removed.
• The class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.ecore.WorkspaceEPackageRegistry has been moved to the org.eclipse.sirius.editor plugin. org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.DslCommonPlugin.getWorkspaceEPackageRegistry has been removed. The same method has been added in org.eclipse.sirius.editor.editorPlugin.SiriusEditorPlugin.
• A new class org.eclipse.sirius.common.tools.api.resource.ResourceMigrationMarker has been introduced for adopters. This marker can be attached to a Resource in order to indicate that some automatic migration might have change the structure of the model during the loading (with no isModified flag). Sirius will then use this information to consider saving the file even if there is no logical change.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui

• The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui.tools.api.util.EclipseUIUtil.addSelectionListener(IWorkbenchPart, ISelectionListener) has been added to register a new selection listener to the site for the workbench part. This method looks for a ISelectionService by calling IServiceLocator.getService() on the site.
• The method org.eclipse.sirius.common.ui.tools.api.util.EclipseUIUtil.removeSelectionListener(IWorkbenchPart, ISelectionListener) has been added to unregister an existing selection listener from site for the workbench part. This method looks for a ISelectionService by calling IServiceLocator.getService() on the site.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram

• The org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.view.refresh package and all its content has been move into the org.eclipse.sirius.diagram plug-in, under the name org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.view.refresh.
• A new extension point org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.canonicalSynchronizerFactoryOverride has been defined. Its only intended implementer is the org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui plug-in. It is used by the diagram dialect’s core to delegate to the UI plug-in the canonical synchronizer logic, which depends on the UI.
• In org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.business.api.refresh.CanonicalSynchronizer, a new method postCreation() has been added. It is called exactly once, right after a diagram has been created and synchronized the first time.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.description.style.EdgeStyleDescription metamodel class has three more features: centeredSourceMappings, centeredTargetMappings and AlwaysCenter. Those features let the specifier determine for which mappings the edge source/target should be centered or whether the source/target should be systematically centered. The endsCentering values are restricted by the new org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.description.CenteringStyle enumeration.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.EdgeStyle metamodel class has now an attribute centered of type org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.description.CenteringStyle, to determine whether the edge target or source ends should be centered.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui

• The parameter additionalFiguresForConflictDetection has been added to several methods of org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.figure.locator.DBorderItemLocator. This parameter is used in case of simultaneous border nodes moves. This list corresponds to the already known border nodes feedbacks. They are used to detect conflicts with other moved nodes.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.query.ConnectionEditPartQuery now provides two new methods isEdgeWithRectilinearRoutingStyle() and isEdgeWithObliqueRoutingStyle() that respectively checks if an edge has a rectilinear routing style or an oblique routing style.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.query.ConnectionQuery now provides two new methods getAbsoluteBendpointsConstraint() and getRelativeBendpointsConstraint() that returns an option of list of Bendpoint of a connection whether they are respectively AbsoluteBendpoint or RelatveBendpoint.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.query.EdgeQuery also provides two new methods isEdgeWithRectilinearRoutingStyle() and isEdgeWithObliqueRoutingStyle() that respectively checks if an edge has a rectilinear routing style or an oblique routing style.
• org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.requests.DistributeRequest: A new ChangeBoundsRequest to manage distribution of shapes.
• A constant REQ_DISTRIBUTE has been added in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.requests.RequestConstants to identify the new type of request, DistributeRequest.

• A new method has been added in org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.view.SiriusLayoutDataManager to retrieve the opposite edge layout data of another edge layout data. An edge layout data stored in the incomingEdgeLayoutDatas ref of its parent data can have an opposite edge layout data in the outgoingEdgeLayoutDatas of the other ends.
• A Constant org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.tools.api.requests.RequestConstants.REQ_RESET_ORIGIN has been added to identify requests to get the ResetOrigin command.
• A new method org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.ui.business.api.query.NodeQuery.isContainer() has been added to test whether the GMF node visualID corresponds to a ContainerEditPart.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.tree.ui

• org.eclipse.sirius.tree.ui.business.api.helper.TreeUIHelper.toContentHTMl() has changed of behavior: refresh of DTree is now partial, i.e. not done for children of collapsed DTreeItemContainer. Consequently code calling TreeUIHelper.toContentHTMl() must do a full refresh if children of collapsed DTreeItemContainer must be displayed in returned HTML.
• org.eclipse.sirius.tree.ui.business.api.helper.TreeUIHelper.toTreeDescriptor() same as for TreeUIHelper.toContentHTMl()

• org.eclipse.sirius.synchronizer.ModelToModelSynchronizer.update(CreatedOutput, boolean) has been added to specify if we want partial refresh or not.

Changes in org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender

• org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.accessor.IMetamodelExtender.eRemoveInverseCrossReferences(EObject, ECrossReferenceAdapter, EReferencePredicate) has been added as a way to remove the inverse cross references without removing an EObject from its container. For example it can be used to avoid the dangling references to an indirectly detached object without removing it from its already detached container and avoid additional REMOVE notifications. The method has been extracted from and is now used by IMetamodelExtender.eDelete().
• org.eclipse.sirius.ecore.extender.business.api.accessor.ModelAccessor.eRemoveCrossReferences(EObject, ECrossReferenceAdapter, EReferencePredicate) has been added as a way to remove the inverse cross references without removing an EObject from its container after a check by the permission authority that all changeable feature to modify can be edited.
