Hello,

since my current project got to big to post a small extract here I take a simple example, representing my current problem.
Imagine that you have written a workflow which reads in an UML model, transforms it to another model and generates code out of the transformed model. The workflow lays in its own plugin, which uses other plugins for the transformation and the generation. For defining the UML model I need a profile. The profile should also lay in its own directory:
plugin.workflow
 |
 +- metamodel
     |
     +- someMetaModel.ecore
 +- model
     |
     +- model2BeRead.uml
 +- workflow
     |
     +-main.mwe

plugin.umlprofile
 |
 +- profile
     |
     +- someProfile.profile.uml

plugin.transformation
 |
 +- ext
     |
     +- someExt.ext

plugin.generation
 |
 +- xpt
     |
     +- someXpt.xpt


I assign the profile to the model2BeRead with "Load resource...". Eclipse then inserts relative paths to the profile in the model2BeRead-file. Now the simple problem is that transformation does not recognise types like someProfile::someStereotype, name is null and so on. If I move the profile to plugin.workflow, load and apply it again, then it works and types are recognised. Like here:
plugin.workflow
 |
 +- metamodel
     |
     +- someMetaModel.ecore
 +- profile
     |
     +- someProfile.profile.uml
 +- model
     |
     +- model2BeRead.uml
 +- workflow
     |
     +-main.mwe

But I don't want to have this, because then there are cyclic dependencies in my project.
Since it works in the second case I think my workflow should work and that it is something different.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Tom

Tom, have you tried asking this question in whatever newsgroup covers "workflows"/.mwe files? Possibly eclipse.modeling.m2t? We don't know anything about the tools that use UML2, people in those forums might know a bit about UML2 in the context of their tool.

If it is indeed a problem in UML2, they might help you rephrase your problem in terms of UML2 only (hopefully you can write a little snippet of Java code that recreates the problem).

Cheers,

Rafael
