Stereotypes are not applied to exported MD-xmi files [message #717387] Sat, 20 August 2011 10:30 Go to next message

Hi

I have a problem applying stereotypes to magic draw Eclipse UML2 v3.x
exported xmi files.

I create a class diagram with a profile in magic draw. The profile is
very simple and just adds a stereotype to one of the classes properties.
I export this file as an UML2 file and import it into my RCP
application. The general import works fine, I can go through all
information of the model and all elements of the profile. My problem is
that the stereotype is not applied to the property after the import.

If I use (a quit stupid) for-loop to manually apply the stereotype it
works fine. But of course this is a very static work around....
------------------------
for ( Stereotype st2:slot.getDefiningFeature().getApplicableStereotypes())
{
if (slot.getDefiningFeature().getName().equals("state") &&
st2.getName().contains("StateObject"))
{
slot.getDefiningFeature().applyStereotype(st2);
}
} //I hope the format is not too bad to read...
------------------------
So I guess the profile is properly loaded, since the information is
already stored in the ApplicableStereotypes list and applying the
stereotype with the loop works fine.

Without the previous loop I can not get any applied stereotypes but of
course there should be some. If I query the model for applied profiles I
get the right ones, so the profile itself should be correctly loaded and
applied.

From the previous posts about stereotypes in this newsgroup I learned
that I must use absolute URL for file loading etc. but nothing helps :-(

Since I spent some hours with that problem now, I dare to ask if you
have any ideas or hints?

best regards
Philipp

Stereotypes are not exportable between tools.
You can export a model but can not export profiles between tools.

What you need to do is to create a new profile inside Eclipse using a compatible and compliant tool with the UM2 metamodel. Once the profile is created you ned to load it and then launch your model.

Thanks a lot for your answer.
In the beginning I thought that this is not possible too but than I
tried to open the models + profile with the Eclipse EMF UML editor and
everything worked perfectly. The editor shows the model and all applied
stereotypes without any problems and error. That's why I think that
there is something wrong with my loading procedures but I could not
solve the problem :(

cheers

hi philipp,


exporting models with stereotypes applied is definitely possible, as you
wrote. we were doing it the last years due to a missing useable
modelling tool in eclipse (now we use papyrus). Maybe take a closer look
at the implementation of the UMLEditor and check how they actually load
the model and build up the according resource set.

cheers,

philipp
