Add decorators to UML view [message #1486986]

Is it possible to from my plugin reach into and add decorators on items in the UML view in Papyrus, just like it's possible to read and decorate ModelExplorerView?

Is there any documentation or api guide for this kind of modification?

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

Decorators are currently not properly supported. It is possible, but the decorator service has been designed specifically for Validation Decorators, and is not very flexible. We use this for e.g. "External" elements decorator (Or inherited properties).

Alternatively, you may also use the Symbols framework, and use the "Decoration" display. To do so, apply the "Papyrus Internal > Symbols" profile, apply the TypeSymbolDefinition stereotype on an element, and specify the image via the "symbolPath" property. Then, in the appearance tab, you can display it via "Shape Decoration > Visible = true" (And specify the Position as well). That's not exactly the same display as decorators, but if the display is satisfying for you, I can explain you how you can generalize that from an external plug-in (I'll need more information on your exact use-case however)

Regards,
Camille

Thanks for responding.

What would be enough is just to add a warning triangle with a text like current warnings on items.

I'm doing it from an external plugin, so what I would like to know is how to get the items in the papyrus uml-view and add the warnings all in java code.
