Make UML profile plug-in visible [message #876290]

Hi,

I have created an eclipse plug-in with my a UML profile I created.

First a question:

My profile has the name "MyProfile". Similar as "Ecore" or "UML2". However, my packages are now named:

com.myfirstprofile.MyProfile

For Ecore the packages are named:

org.eclipse.ecore etc

How have you managed to name your package with lower case letters and the model with upper case letters? I can only decide between these two alternatives.

Well, ok, now I have my plugin. The package is expected to be located using a pathmap:

pathmap://UML_PROFILES/MyProfile.profile.uml

I have added the mapping to the plugin.xml. Works too.

So, now my question is: How can I find my profile in eclipse to apply it? Smile

Of course I can load the profile.uml file as resource. But then the file is added as profile. But I want that in the final model "pathmap://UML_PROFILES ..." is used to locate my profile.

So when getting the list of available profiles, how can I make my profile available using the pathmap location?

Regards,

Tex

Hi

It's always a good idea to study Eclipse code that works.

The magic EAnnotations in the UML models should show how to name
packages an files as you like.

The uml.resources plugin.xml shows how to configure pathmap.
