Setting stereotype of an UML element [message #60087]

Hi @all,

my grammar imports the uml metamodel and contains following rule:

MyClass returns umlMM::Class: 'className' name=ID;

Is it possible to set the stereotype of the class element? If yes, which
steps are required to do that?

Thanks
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,

yes it should definitly be possible to set the stereotype.
What did you try to do so?
Do you want to set it in your dsl file? Or do you want to apply a
stereotype to a class based on other conditions?

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I am trying to set the stereotype as default value. Can I do it by
extending the class Linking.java and then by overriding the method
setDefaultValueImpl() (see your posting at
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.modeling.tmf/m sg00403.html)?

Hi @all,

I defined an UML profile with 3 stereotypes: <<Window>>, <<InputField>>
and <<Button>>. In this profile a window can contain input fields and
buttons. I defined a simple grammar:

grammar org.xtext.example.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

import "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML" as umlMM

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/MyDsl"

....

Window:
'Window' name=ID '{'
(inputFields+=InputField)*
(buttons+=Button)*
'}';

InputField:
'Input' name=ID;

Button:
'Button' name=ID;

Just, I want that the rule Window returns a class and apply the
stereotype <<Window>>. To do that, the rule should return umlMM::Class:

Window returns umlMM::Class:
'Window' name=ID '{'
(inputFields+=InputField)*
(buttons+=Button)*
'}';

Logically, this is not possible, because: "Cannot find compatible
feature inputFields in sealed EClass Class from imported package
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML."

Is it possible define a window rule which returns umlMM::Class and owns
additional features. Or do I need a M2M transformation? Any ideas?

Thanks
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,

I think a M2M transformation is your way to go. Other opportunities like
implementing a custom IAstFactory require in-depth knowledge about the
framework and its internals and are likely to cause trouble with the
serialization as they will break the bidirectionality of the parser and
the serializer.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for your answer. I will try to use M2M transformations.
