Apply Ecore stereotype in UML2 editor [message #628358] Fri, 09 April 2010 11:38 Go to next message

This would be a totally newbie question, but I just can't find any answer to it.

How do I apply a stereotype from Ecore profile in a blank UML2 file in UML2 editor? I tried to load resource Ecore.profile.uml (which I had extracted from some .jar deeply in Eclipse/plugin directory before), but clicking to UML Editor -> Element -> Apply stereotype... does not offer me any stereotype from Ecore profile applicable to selected element (say an operation).

Complementary question: Do I understand right that in order to model a subsetted/subsetting property or attribute/operation redefinition to be generated in EMF I need to apply EReference or EAttribute or EOperation (respectively) stereotypes to corresponding elements in my UML2 model?

Thanks a lot for any help
Karel

You must first apply the Ecore profile to some package (often the root
package) in your model. Then you can apply its stereotypes to elements
within that package and its sub-packages.

See the "UML Editor -> Package" menu in the main menu bar.

No stereotypes are required for subsetting and redefinition. These are
purely UML constructs. Use the property sheet of your attributes and
operations to set these relationships.
