Is it possible to automatically convert a class diagram created using Papyrus into an Ecore formatted file ?

Hi

I'm not quite sure what you mean by an Ecore formatted file. Ecore is
normally XMI. Perhaps you mean OCLinEcore or Emfatic.

Anyway. For Helios, load the UML file with the UML model editor and
convert to Ecore. You can then load the Ecore file with the OCLinEcore
editor and perhaps SaveAs OCLinEcore.

For Indigo, you should be able to load the UML file directly in the
OCLinEcore editor, though the editor is not directly registered so you
need to tunnel down the Open With options. (Don't try this with earlier
than RC1 - auto translation of UML is a very late addition.).

As said Ed, if you want to transform a uml file into ecore, follow its instructions. A diagram in papyrus is only a view of your model.

I'm new to EMF so I'm probably using the wrong term but here is what I did using eclipse to do what I wanted :


  1. I created a new Papyrus project
  2. I created a class diagram in Papyrus
  3. I created a new EMF empty project
  4. I used the EMF Generator Model to convert my .uml file (created with Papyrus) into an .ecore file


Now I want to create some java code to do that.

I found someone who did this but from XSD : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/671555/how-to-convert-xsd-to-ecore-emf/4614035#4614035. He use Xsd2Ecore. I would like something like Uml2Ecore but I didn't find anything like that. Do you guys know what eclipse use to do what I described earlier ?

UMLUtil.UML2EcoreConverter does the bulk of the work. You'll want to
look at all the scaffolding in org.eclipse.uml2.uml.ecore.exporter.

Thank you, I'll go look at that.

Your "that" is variously ambiguous and unlikely for a new user, so I'm
not sure that you're getting the answer you want.

What do you want your Java code to do?

From what I'm understanding, ecore is a meta-model which support a subset of element from the UML Class diagram. EMF provide a good API to work with ecore and I want to use it. So my workflow should be like this : Create a Papyrus class diagram, lunch my java application, select the .uml file created using Papyrus, then my apps should convert it to ecore and I would do some stuff with it. I'm now looking at a way to do the conversion.

Hi

I'm not clear why you want to write any Java, the functionality is
already fully available (interactively).

If you want automation then there are integrations already available for
at least ANT (see UML, Ecore documentation on ANT tasks) and MWE2 (see
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build).

Is there already any built-in tools to compare diagrams ?

Note too that the EcoreTools project provides a graphical editor that
supports class diagrams directly for Ecore. No UML nor conversion is
involved. I'm sure the Papyrus editor is much fancier though...

Is it possible that it is ecore.importer instead of exporter ?
