Hello,

I would like to map an Ecore model to a UML/MARTE model(a model with stereotypes).
Technically, is it possible?

Thanks,
Best regards,

Hi

'map' could mean many things.

You can convert Ecore to UML (with stereotypes) using the conversion
option in the Ecore Editor Tool Bar menu.

Hi Ed Willink,

I mean by mapping, in this case, model to model mapping

If i use the conversion option in the Ecore Editor Tool Bar menu, i will be able to add ,if needed, information to the obtained UML model? Or shall i create a template to be able to add data after mapping?

Thanks a lot for your reply

Best regards,
Amina,

Hi

Still no idea what you mean by mapping.

Eclipse has a variety of model to model transformation tools that work
with UML stereotypes.

Hi Ed Willink,

In fact, i wanted to convert a UML/MARTE model to a meta-model Ecore.
I have already begun this by following these steps:
-I used papyrus under Eclipse Kepler to create a UML/MARTE class diagram (representing a design pattern)
-I created a new EMF Project
-In the next step 'model importers', I selected UML model.
-After that i selected the uml file (previously created) from the system for the 'Model url'

After that, two files are generated : model.ecore and model.genmodel
The classes existing in the UML/MARTE model are converted to the Ecore file, but the attributes and stereotypes offered by MARTE and annotating the UML/MARTE diagram are lost
Is there any problem in the conversion that i used ?

Any help please,
Thanks for reply and help,
Best regards,

Hi

If it doesn't do what you want you have a problem.

There are many processing options for the converter; perhaps you used
the wrong ones. And before you ask, I don't know where they are
documented. You need to use your intuition/empirical discovery.

Hi,

There exists a standard UML-to-Ecore converter (Which handles a subset of UML, i.e. ~ Class Diagrams), but I'm not aware of any "UML/Marte to Ecore" converter. At least, it doesn't exist in Papyrus.

Papyrus provides the Marte profile, as well as a few customizations for manipulating (Creating & Viewing) Marte-profiled UML models.

Regards,
Camille

Hi Camille,

I am using Papyrus under Eclipse Kepler, so the converter doesn't exist even under eclipse?

Thanks for reply,

Hi,

It may exist. But not within the Papyrus Project.

Many tools are built on top of Papyrus, so maybe one of them provides a "UML/Marte to Ecore" converter. But it seems very unlikely.

Ed wasn't mentionning such a tool; he was just mentionning a generic "UML to Ecore" converter, which has absolutely no support for Profiles/Stereotypes.

Regards,
Camille

Hi Camille,

In that case, i think that i should create my own template for UML/MARTE 2 Ecore conversion

Thank you Camille and Ed Willink
Best regards,
Amina

Hi Camile

In so far as Profiles/Stereotypes extend classes, UML2Ecore supports
them. Just look at all the Ecore Profile add-ons in the UML meta-model.
