[Papyrus 2.0] How do I change numeric type id:s to symbolic dito in the notation file [message #1748110]

Papyrus has obviously change the representation of type id of graphical elements in diagrams from a numeric to logic names. E.g type="8503" is now type="Component_FloatingNameLabel".
Papyrus 2.0.1 can still read and understand notation files with numerical type id:s, but when a diagram is edited in some way, all identities are automatically converted to the new type id representation. However, if you try to compare a model using EMF Compare with diagrams that have been created in v1.1 and only slightly modified in v2.0 All graphical elements are notated as "type changed", and the graphical comparison view fails completly.

My question is: Is there a way to automatically modify all type id:s in a notation file to the new format, instead to having to step through all diagrams manually and do a fake edit, to reduce the problem with future comparisons?

Hi Thomas,

Simon is currently working on an extension of EMF Compare to automatically migrate the diagram before merges and comparisons (see https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/84294).

In his Gerrit change, you can also see the code necessary to walk through all resources of a Papyrus model and apply the migration using the DiagramReconciler (see https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/84294/2/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.compare.diagram.ide.ui.papyrus/src/org/eclipse/emf/compare/diagram/ide/ui/papyrus/internal/DiagramMigrationHook.java). Based on this code, you could create a plug-in that does the same thing in order to migrate the entire workspace with one click rather than having to open each diagram manually.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Philip

Hi Thomas,

There is no independent migration tool to do that in bulk, it is done by the reconcilier upon opening a diagram. If you are interested you can check out the corresponding labels in the xls file either in the wiki [1] or in the git repository [2].
You could always call the reconcilier programatically and feed it your diagrams though. Usually its in the uml/diagram/[diagram type] under the migration package.

This sounds like the same issue brought up in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=505358. Maybe you can provide some feedback as well to this bug?
