How to customize the palette? [message #1597853]

Good afternoon,

I would like to know if there is a methodological guide to customize the palette because I couldn't find one in the help contents.

In fact, I have made a specific profil and I have created some stereotypes on the classifier metaclass but I can't add them in the palette (Requirement Diagram).

Thank you very much,

Adrien.

Hi Adrien,

did you come any further? I was able to create a custom palette via externsion point "org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.common.paletteDefinition".

   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.common.paletteDefinition">
          <paletteDefinition 
          		ID="de.oose.papyrus.sysml.sysmod.palette"
        		class="org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.common.service.PluginPaletteProvider"
        		icon="img/logo.jpg" 
        		name="Diagram Elements"
        		path="palette.xml">       	
        		<Priority name="Medium"/>
        		<editor id="org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.clazz"/>
			</paletteDefinition>
   </extension>

The defintion of the palette items is done via palette.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<paletteDefinition>
    <content>
        <drawer iconpath="/img" id="sysmodDrawer" name="SYSMOD">
            <aspectTool description="Create a SYSMOD user (Actor)"
                iconpath="platform:/plugin/SYSMOD41/img/sysmod_user_16_16.png"
                id="clazz.tool.class_sysmod_user" 
                name="User (Block)" 
                refToolId="clazz.tool.class">                
                <postAction id="org.eclipse.papyrus.applystereotypeactionprovider">
                    <stereotypesToApply>
                        <stereotype stereotypeName="SYSMOD41::User" />
                    </stereotypesToApply>
                </postAction>
            </aspectTool>

            <aspectTool description="Create a SYSMOD External System (Actor)"
                iconpath="platform:/plugin/SYSMOD41/img/sysmod_external_system_16_16.png"
                id="clazz.tool.class_sysmod_external_system" 
                name="External System (Block)" 
                refToolId="clazz.tool.class">                
                <postAction id="org.eclipse.papyrus.applystereotypeactionprovider">
                    <stereotypesToApply>
                        <stereotype stereotypeName="SYSMOD41::ExternalSystem" />
                    </stereotypesToApply>
                </postAction>
            </aspectTool>
        </drawer>
    </content>
</paletteDefinition>

Unfortunately the creation of correctly stereotyped model elements does only work for stereotypes, that are derived by generalization-relationship from their SYSML super-stereotype.

Stereotypes, which are created by extension-releationship from a metaclass are not created as the "generalized" ones, if droped in a model diagram. In this case I see this console message:

!MESSAGE impossible to retrieve the stereotype SYSMOD41::User

Any idea?

Bernd

I would like to come back to the problem that sterotypes created by extension relationship from a metaclass are not instanciated. Example:

My Profile:
Stereotype <<System>> is created by generalization from SysML Stereotype Block
Stereotype <<User>> is created by extension from UML Metaclass Actor

System appears correctly with stereotype <<system>> when I add it from the palette to my diagram Smile

User comes without stereotype Sad

Now I figured out that all the stereotypes created by extension relationship are not vilible in my profile. Could have realized this earlier Rolling Eyes

After this illumination this might not longer be the right stream. Do you know a more appropriate one?

Any idea how to fix this?
