Status of code generation in Papyrus? [message #1030018]

Sat, 30 March 2013 10:54

Eclipse User

Everyone,

I have imported a UML model from IBM Rational Software Architect into Papyrus and I would like to generate code from it. I found some tutorials on the old Papyrus site showing videos of the code generator (run via run configurations), but it appears to be unavailable in Eclipse Juno SR2. It is listed, but not discussed in the user's guide at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus_User_Guide#C.2FC.2B.2B_Code_Generation

Could someone please tell me what the status is of this capability? It is available now, planned for some future release or unplanned?

Thanks!

Jay

Hi

It depends what you mean by code generation.

If you just want class structure (Package, Class, Property, Operation) ,
that has been available for a long time via the UML to Ecore converter.
EMF supports generation of Java from the Ecore model.

If you also want OCL elaboration of Class invariants and Operation
bodies, then you will be pleased to know that a stupid bug has been
fixed for Kepler so that the OCL is correctly expressed as Ecore
delegates for interpretation at run-time. You may be even more pleased
that the OCL to Java code generator is fully integrated so that if you
genmodel you get compiled Java for the OCL.

If you also want more advanced UML facilities such as State Machines,
you need to look for additional tooling. I suspect that Acceleo may have
some examples.

You may note that none of the above is a Papyrus facility; they are more
general.

Regards

Ed,

Thanks very much! I'll definitely check that out for Java. Do you know of a way to do it for C++? As far as I know, the default EMF will not generate C++.

Everyone,

Most of my models will convert to ECore just fine, although I have one that won't. Oddly, the one that won't is the one I really want! I currently have it as part of a Papryus model and when I run the UML Editor -> Convert to -> Ecore Model operation it does not work. A .ecore file is not produced as in my other test cases. In the Error Log I get the warning posted below. Any thoughts? Should I report this as a bug?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi

StackOverflowError is usually a coding bug; please submit a Bugzilla to
MDT/UML2.

The problem seems to be a TemplateParameter, which is not surprising
since they are quite challenging.

However at
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.util.UMLUtil$UML2EcoreConverter.caseComment(UMLUtil.java:2800)
suggests some kind of re-entrant templated comment; wierd concept.

Try deleting all your comments.

Ed,

The template parameter had a comment on it. I removed the comment as you suggested and it worked (after moving one other erroneously placed class).

Thanks for you help!

Everyone,

Most of my models will convert to ECore just fine

Please, I'm using Eclipse Juno with Papyrus 0.9.2 but cannot find any recent documentation which explains how to generate code (C++/Java) using UML models that have been designed in Papyrus.

Can you tell me how do this or at least how can I convert the .di file into an ecore file? Is the UML Editor an additional plugin?

Thanks a lot,
Fabio

Hi

you can generate code from UML class diagrams this way:
* create the class diagram in Papyrus
* choose "file > new > other > EMF Project"
* Enter project name
* Select "UML model"
* Select your uml file from your workspace
* hit finish

run the code generation from the .genmodel (more details in EMF forum)

Hi,

If you want to generate Java skeleton, there is also an experimental
Java code generator in the additional features or Papyrus.

You can get the source code from the svn repository
modeling/org.eclipse.mdt.papyrus/trunk/extraplugins/java,

or
try the update site (for kepler):
-
http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/papyrus-update/org.eclipse.papyrus.java-updatesite/

There is also an experimental Java code reverse tool.

The previous plugins should be available from Papyrus adititional
features soon.

In my opinion the best way to generate text (i.e. code) from your UML models (actually any model instance of an ECORE defined meta-model) is using MOFM2T transformations which in Eclipse are provided by the Acceleo plugin.

Hi

AFAIK the Acceleo transformations have no support generating Java code
for embedded OCL, so you will incur the compilation costs lazily on each
first use, and interpretation overheads on every use.

In contrast, using the UML2Ecore2Java route can give you Java code for
your OCL in Kepler.

What eclipse version and update sites do you recommend to do so?
I am a newbe and tried to install EMF-Core on Kepler with an update site
but it did not work.

I am looking for a round trip solution for UML modeling of java in eclipse.
I like Green UML (it is the most intuitive I could find until now) but it
is out of date and has some other issues, too. The java code generation feature
for papyrus looks very promising in the old documentation. Does somebody
know a tutorial for roundtrip UML modeling of java with papyrus (and additional
eclipse plugins)?
If this is not possible, do you know a free alternative that is up to date?
I tried the free UML editors from this overview and I am kind of stuck now:

Hi

Rather than striuggle with wring update sites, why not just start with

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-modeling-tools/keplerr

so that you get all the basic modeling stuff pre-installed?

The modeling discovery wizard in the Help menu and on the tool bar helps
you with any further modeling tools.

Ok, thanks a lot.

Here is a description of how far I got now
(example files are attached as zipped project):

1. Create Java Project

2. Create Papyrus UML Model: file > new > other > Papyrus > Papyrus Model
* choose UML as diagram language
* choose the option "UML Class Diagram" to create a class diagram
* open model.di and add some classes to the diagram with the tools in "Palette"

3. Save model.di (The following step did not work for me without saving.)

4. Create Ecore Generator Model from Papyrus UML Model
* right click on model.di and select
* "new > other > Eclipse Modeling Framework > EMF Generator Model"
* Select "UML model"
* Select the model.uml file that was created by papyrus from your workspace

5. Generate Java Code
+ Open model.genmodel and select the root node
+ Right click and select "Generate Model Code"

=> some code is generated in the src folder

----------------------------

So far, so good. Some questions are left:

- If I make changes to the papyrus file model.di, how can I update the ecore model?
+ Do I have to manually create it new or
+ can I do something like "update ecore from uml source" or
+ is there something like an "auto update" - feature?

- If I change the generated code in the src-folder, how do I automatically update the uml model and the ecore model to include new classes?

------------
Edit:

I found some links about automation with ant or maven:

Ant:

Maven:

http://mapasuta.sourceforge.net/maven/site/maven-emfgen-plugin/genmodel-mojo.html

Quote:

The previous plugins should be available from Papyrus adititional
features soon.

=> Should I try to go on with ant/maven our with the tool from Cedric Dumoulin mentioned above (his update site does not seem to work)? Any further alternatives?

Hi Ed.

thanks for your replies concerning papyrus use!

I still have a question: if we elaborate a profile (defining stereotypes for classes and actions) with papyrus and use it to construct models (class diagrams and state-machines, both containing stereotypes), how can one generate java code from the etablished models (I mean from stereotyped class diagrams and statemachines)?

thank you in advance

Hi

In principle the standard

define your UML models (see OCL in UML (using Papyrus) in the OCL
Documentation
create/use your genmodel

should just work. If you want embedded OCL to be code generated rather
than interpreted

see "Code Generation tutorial" in the OCL Documentation
