We are moving to use Papyrus for Data Modelling within a collaborative team (they're currently using Sparx EA) for a variety of important (to me reasons):
* Full support for the UML2.5 standard inc. Profile definition
* Programmatic traversal of the model through EMF
* Better diagramming
* Integration with Git and support for collaborative working
On this last point, however, the capability is dependent on having good tools for compare and merge. Having used Google to track down the wiki page for Papyrus Compare, I have now successfully create a platform that meets these requirements - but the incubation status of Papyrus Compare doesn't make this easy. I got a working platform by using Eclipse JEE Photon (4.0.0), installing Papyrus 4.0.0, then EMF 3.3.4 Compare (minus UML Compare), and finally Papyrus Compare 0.7.0 form the update site on the wiki.
Installing Papyrus Compare into anything based on 2018-09 releases led to an unsatisfied dependency on Papyrus UML Tools.
For me, this is a fantastic addition to Papyrus for use in a collaborative environment - is there any more information about the roadmap and is it being actively managed into the wider Papyrus release process so that it's easier to install?
Thanks,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
[My previous message was completely wrong, I read "Unsatisfying" rather than "Unsatisfied" and assumed you didn't want to pull Papyrus Editors]
The latest release for Papyrus Compare indeed seems to be based on Papyrus Photon (Not 2018-09), so that might cause installation issues. I'm not sure about the actual roadmap, so I can't help you with that
Do you have additional information about the dependency resolution error? I might be able to help at least with that
HTH,
Camille

Hi Oliver,
I'm very glad to hear that you are using Papyrus and Papyrus Compare!
We certainly plan to keep Papyrus Compare up to date and compatible with the latest releases of Papyrus. So far, however, we've done that only for the yearly releases (previous release schedule) and haven't updated the process yet to keep up with the new shorter release cycles. We'll look into that. Thanks for raising this issue.
Let us know if you run into any other issues in using Papyrus/PapyrusCompare.
Thanks and best wishes,
Philip

Hi Oliver,
That dependency version range is definitely incorrect; Papyrus UML Tools version was increased to 4.0.0 in January (For a first release with Eclipse Photon in June 2018), but Papyrus/Compare stills depends on the 3.x version at most. I'm surprised we didn't detect this issue at all, since it's been there for a long time (And we've had successful builds & deployments since)
We probably have a build configuration issue, because that kind of issue should really be detected much earlier
