Hi all,

I have created a UML profile and applied it to a model on Papyrus. Now I would like to generate the ecore for that profile. Is that possible and so, how can it be done?

Thank you!

Hello,
to generate the ecore from the profile, you need to install . UML2 Extender SDK Developer Resources.

Then you can select your file xxx.profile.uml and create a genmodel. Then it is like from an ecore generation.

There is an extension point to register your static profile :
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.extensionpoints.UMLProfile

We are creating/updating this document for the next Papyrus release (2020-12).

Hello,
right-clik on the profile.uml file, then New -> Others -> Eclipse Modeling Framework -> EMF Generator Model [1], then on the next wizard page called Select A Model Importer, you must select UML model [2].

Hi

The 'union' messages are a common nightmare, but IIRC they are usually down to user error.

Have you tried following the tutorials?

Other users seem to manage ok, so you should be able to solve the problem, but if not there is no way anyone can help you from *.jpg. You must provide at least the *.uml and preferably a zipped project and Eclipse configuration text file.

Hi

WinZip reports that your attachment is any a valid RAR file.

If you use the Export facility within Eclipse you can create a ZIP file that works.

Hi

If you use the UML Model Editor to validate your profil.profile.uml you will see that many Stereotypes have duplicate base_Class properties which is guaranteed to cause chaos. I suspect that you may have accidentally done a bad cut and paste to create the prolific duplicates. Anyway, you should aim at a warning free UML Model Editor validation before trying to get anything else to work.

Hi

I am afraid that you have been deceived. Your file starts

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<UMLProfile>

which might make you think it has something to do UML; it doesn't. It isn't even valid XML since it has no namespaces.

A genuine UML profile might start something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="20131001" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/spec/XMI/20131001" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:Ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/schemas/Ecore/5" xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" xmlns:uml="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/5.0.0/UML" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/schemas/Ecore/5 pathmap://UML_PROFILES/Ecore.profile.uml#_z1OFcHjqEdy8S4Cr8Rc_NA">
<uml:Profile xmi:id="_0" name="OCLforUML" URI="http://www.eclipse.org/ocl/2015/OCLforUML" metamodelReference="_qtyJwICREeOB3rHSo1B3ow">

----

I have no idea what you mean by folder xml.

Your original comment claimed that you had create a UMLprofile and applied it (presumably successfully) on Papyrus.

Thiis seems impossible given that your file is so invalid.

I suggest you go back to the source of your WebProfile.xml and see what tolling it provides and possibly gain some understanding of why they use the term "UML".

The "A dynamically-generated web page using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology." comment suggests to comes from Microsoft who have a track record for deviating from standards.

Looks like
https://sparxsystems.com/downloads/profiles/WebProfile.xml

A demo originating from the book "Building Web Applications with UML" by Jim Conallen.

OK, first this "profile" is based on the ancient UML 1.1, if I recon correctly . Secondly it is in the SPARX propriatary format.

A precious piece of ancient UML history. But ...

/pica

EDIT: the first edition of the book was published in 1999, so it was most probably based on UML 1.1. I think, I am growing old ;-)

Hi

Carsten has successfully identified that your 'not-UML' is actually a very vintage proprietary UML 1.1. Eclipse UML2 and so Papyrus only supports UML 2.x. I suspect that your example is the first time I have encountered UML 1.x which is why I failed to recognize it.

As a first try you should go back to your source and look for the modern version of the demo. (UML2.0 is now 18 years old.)

Otherwise it's as if you are trying to re-implement a C program using Java; most of the principles are the same but quite a bit of subtle transcription is needed.

Since UML only standardizes the model with UMDI giving an aspirational standardization of the graphics and nothing standardizing the UX, you would be well advised to follow a tutorial for the tool that you are actually going to use.
