Installation or settings problem [message #477169]

I have a problem with the installation of my eclipse plugins, probably.

According to the "Product configuration", the following components are
installed properly:
- EMF
- GEF
- UML2 tools

So I can draw UML diagrams visually, but I cannot write any java code for
generating UML (I get, for instance, "Model cannot be resoved to a type").
In fact, I can't use any classes from org.eclipse.* . Do I have to set
something additionally?

Hi Mikolaj ,

Try checking that you can create a .uml model using the creation wizards.
If you can create UML diagrams visually then I would suspect that you have
all the UML plugins properly installed.
Verify that you have properly created a dependency from your plugin to UML
plugins.

Try following the getting started article:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Getti ng_Started_with_UML2/article.html

Cheers,
- James.

Yes I suspect this is the point. I haven't created _any_ dependencies...
What dependencies are needed? Does an UML project create them automatically?

Thank you. But there I have the same problem. I get stuck at the point
"Let's look at how to perform the same task using Java code. ". The
types Model and Package maka my Eclipse complain that it doesn't know
them. Should I go on with the tutorial nevertheless?

Cheers,
Mikolaj

If you select your Mainifest.mf file, you should be able to add
org.eclipse.uml2.uml to your dependencies.

Scroll to the bottom of the document for references to source code.
The article is out of date so the version numbers are off a bit but the same
general ideas still apply.
