Problems with migration to Neon [message #1739013]

Hi,

I have a few questions concerning the migration from Papyrus 1.0 to 2.0, but first let me explain my situation. I have to migrate a DSML to Neon, but I never did DSML or Papyrus plug-ins before. I tried to follow everything in the Papyrus migration guide (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus/Migration_Guide/Neon) in order to solve the large amount of errors I got from changing my target from Mars to Neon. I found a lot of information that helped me, but currently I have some trouble to understand the element type framework.

1) I have a lot of dependencies on the old extendedTypes framework that I can't find any replacement for.
Here are some example of class that I need to replace or find:
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.types.IExtendedHintedElementType
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionConfigurationModelCreation
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionCreationElementValidator
- org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionEditHelperAdvice

2) I also have a problem with one extension point that I can't find its equivalent: "org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.aspectActionConfiguration".

3) My last question is I have a model ".extendedtypes", but I'm not sure exactly what it does and by what I can replace it (.elementtypes maybe?).

Thank you in advance

Simon

Hi,

The new ElementTypeConfiguration framework is a generalization of the ExtendedTypes framework. There is no 1-1 mapping between them but all the things that could be done with ExtendedTypes can be done with the ElementTypeConfiguration.

1)
org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.types.IExtendedHintedElementType -> org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core.IConfiguredHintedElementType
org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionConfigurationModelCreation -> none (but somehow it is now in org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core.factories.IEditHelperAdviceFactory and org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core/schema/adviceConfigurationKind.exsd)
org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionCreationElementValidator -> none (but somehow it is now in org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core.factories.IEditHelperAdviceFactory and org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core/schema/adviceConfigurationKind.exsd)
org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.IActionEditHelperAdvice -> none (but somehow it is now in org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core.factories.IEditHelperAdviceFactory and org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core/schema/adviceConfigurationKind.exsd)

2)
org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.extendedtypes.aspectActionConfiguration extensionpoint is now mostly org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core/schema/adviceConfigurationKind.exsd
A good example of usage of this extension point can be found in org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.types.core that defines a custom advice type that applies UML stereotypes thanks to org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.types.core.advices.applystereotype.ApplyStereotypeAdviceConfigurationFactory and org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.types.core.advices.applystereotype.ApplyStereotypeAdviceConfiguration

3)
Generally speaking ".extendedtypes" models contain some elementtypes definitions and specializations relationships between them together with some advices definitions and the binding between those and the elementtypes.
".extendedtypes " models must migrate to a ".elementtypesconfigurations" models.
A good example of the new ".elementtypesconfigurations" models is the one defined for UML (org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.service.types/model/uml.elementtypesconfigurations)

Hi,

Is there any documentation or documented schema defining what is the structure of the new ".elementtypesconfigurations" model files and / or some guidelines how to create and handle them?

Thanks,

Antonio
