Problems with implementing own statemachine [message #471920]

Hi,
i try to rebuild the statemachine of the UML2Tools with some modifications.
Most parts work fine, but I have 2 problems:

1. When building a new statemachine, a new statemachine element is created,
but doesn't apear on the canvas. I need to create a second statmachine to
draw other elements.
package -> statemachine -> statemachine -> region -> states

2. Adding a region to a statemachine works. But the region is sized as big
as the statemachine, so the statemachine and its label for the name is
always covered. In the Tools the region is resized when created.

Can someone give me a hint where to find solutions. How is this done in the
UML2Tools? Perhaps a piece of written code in an edit policy? Thanks for
your help.

Best regards
Steffen

Hello Steffen,

In UML2Tools we use custom attributes for the gmfgen file. These attrubutes
have xml namespace prefix 'uml2.gmfgenext'. Such attributes provide code
for many ours features. Unfortunately, on gmfmap file to gmfgen file transformation
these attributes are lost. One should manually add these attrubutes to gmfgen
file on every generator model re-generation. So, just checkout stateMachineDiagram.gmfgen
from cvs, have a look where attributes with 'uml2.gmfgenext' xmlns are used
and paste them into your generator model after generation.
It helps, isnt't it?

Best regards,
Tatiana.

Hi,
thanks for help! I tried to generate the source out of the unmodified
stateMachineDiagram.gmfgen now. But there are problems, too. The
statemachine is created in teh top left corner and is not moveable or
resizeable.

Best regards
Steffen

Hello Steffen,

Please make sure that you are regenerating it with GMF 2.1 M3.
Also, make sure that original Uml2Tools sources for statemachine plugin are
available to the generator, and the generated code does NOT goes to the new
project (in this case all generated NOT code would be lost).
Finally, make sure that you are generating it with our custom action ("Generate
UML2Tools diagram" or something like this) and NOT the default GMF generator
action.

Regards,
Michael

Hello Steffen,

Do you mind posting your modified models here or sending them directky to
me?
I think I have an idea about the possible sourceof problems, but I would
like to see the models/generated problematic code first, if possible.

Regards,
Michael

Thanks,
generating from the original model files work now.
I'll try with my own model next.

Best regards
