Papyrus source code [message #806143]

Hi everybody, I'm new here.

For the purpose of an University exam I have to create an eclipse plugin that allow users to do certain operation in a Sequence Diagram. My professor told us to use Papyrus for the drawing diagram part.
I used TortoiseSVN to download the source code. The download took several hours and ended with an error message after the demand of a name in a popup where it asked "Login as:". The folder downloaded, anyway, is about 10GB!!!

Then i tried to import as an existing project but I have some error message like "Resource '/alfFeature' already exists." and so on with all other projects in the folder I have downloaded. What I have to do to resolve that?

Hello,

Several hours ? 10 GB ? What exactly did you try to checkout ? It can take some time to download the sources, but several hours is really too much. You shouldn't checkout more than a single version's "plugins" folder (e.g. branches/0.8.X/plugins), which is already 500~800 MB.

Also, do you really need to download the sources ? As there is no psf file for the 0.8.X version, it can be complicated to retrieve a coherent set of plug-ins (And 0.9.0 sources are probably not stable enough yet).

Hi,

I took the URL from the papyrus page in the eclipse site and it's the following:

http:[slash][slash]dev.eclipse.org[slash]svnroot[slash]modeling[slash]org.eclipse.mdt.papyrus

now i tried to attach the url part you wrote at the final part of the URL i had, and it's downloading (i hope it's downloading the source for version 0.8 ).

And yes, i really need sources beacause i have to add some function and i need to modify the way the storage file is created.

Update:

after that, I downloaded a source folder that's is about 41MB. Even if it seems too small I tried to import as an existing project and i have the following error:

Resource '/org.eclipse.papyrus.constraintwithessentialocl.editor.xtext' already exists.

Hello,

As I said, it can be pretty complicated to install a valid source version of Papyrus (At least for the branch), because not all plug-ins from the plugins/ folder are required (And, even worse, some of them should not be used). For example, the folder plugins/ocl contains a plug-in which is also located in plugins/uml (Which is why you have this error).

I think you should only download the following:

- plugins/core
- plugins/uml
- plugins/others

And if you install Papyrus before downloading the sources, it becomes much easier to have a coherent set of plug-ins (Because what is missing in the sources will at least be installed).

Hi

It's difficult to tell what's needed.

If you install from e.g.
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/updates/nightly/kepler
you will find that there is a source feature.

If all you want is to browse/debug the source feature will do. You can
Import plugins as sources for those of interest.

If you really want to get code from SVN you could use the downloaded
sources as a guide to what is useful.

Regards

Ed Willink

hi ed,
thank you for replying...
when i get into run configuration-->run as java application, i couldn t find the main class in the the whole downloaded trunk! i didn t find a project named app or framework to fin that class.
i saw a video on youtube named "violet uml editor - how to configure eclipse and get the source code of the project" which explained that maven could build the java structure src/main to be able to run as a java application. well,i tried to do that but i didn t succeed may be because he has the project named framework and i don t..
could you please suggest some solutions? thanks a lot

Hello,

Papyrus is an Eclipse Plug-in. It is not a standalone Java Application. This means that you must run Papyrus as an "Eclipse Application", not as a "Java Application". You can select any Papyrus plug-in and "Run as... Eclipse Application".

Regards,
Camille

Hi again,
I download Papyrus source code using psf file(obtained in http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/psf/subclipse/plugins_http.psf)
and i ran it, I was unable to create neither a Papyrus project nor a papyrus model because there are errors that prevent the right execution of this plugin.

The frame responsible of checking Diagram Category doesn't appear and here's the error message: "Could not find DiagramCategory for uml".
Please, can you suggest me a better psf file ?
