Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my project on last oxygen papyrus version.
Ok for css customization and metamodel profile, ence ok also for custom edit forms (see attachment).
I have only problem by porting my old palette configuration based on xml to the new one.
I see a lot of tutorial indicating to use the customize palette but it is non available in my case (see attachments).
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Emilio Dolce

Dear Emilio,

XML palettes are no longer available, you need to pass by element type definitions. There is an unmerged gerrit patch for bug 521454 (The migration from XML to element-type based palettes should be eased with tooling). However, the tooling in the patch requires that semantic element types already exists.

Hope that helps

Ansgar

Hi Ansgar,

I am very interested in this patch and I have downloaded it from https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/103753/

However, when I imported the relevant (i think) plugin into my workspace (org.eclipse.papyrus.dev.types), I have noticed that it seems corrupt (see attached screenshot). I've tried downloading the patches in different archive formats, but they all have the same issue.

I would like to know how to proceed in order to try this new feature. Has anyone else tried it yet?

Best Regards,
Nicholas

I don't have this issue. It seems that you are using an OS that limits the path length.
Anyway, I rebased the patch, so that it is in sync with the current papyrus version.

Hello Ansgar,

Yes you're right, I've tried on a Linux host without issues (previously I used a Windows 10 host)

Could you please provide some minimal steps to test this functionality starting from a Papyrus UML profile and "old" xml palette definitions?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Nicholas

Hi,

the first step is to assure that you have semantic element type definitions for your stereotypes. You can generate these from the profile with tooling from Papyrus ToolSmith. Open your profile, then choose "generate tooling model" -> "element types."
There is documentation for a similar task here.

You should then make sure that these element types are registered in a plugin as shown below. Make sure that you have the source of the patched plugin in your workspace. Then you can start a 2nd eclipse instance and invoke the migration tool on a palette xml file. It will create a palette definition file as well as required graphical element type definitions.
You need to reference your palette definition from an architecture definition file - see also This thread

  <extension
         point="org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.types.core.elementTypeSetConfiguration">
      <elementTypeSet
            clientContextID="<context id, as referenced from a .architecture file>"
            path="<path to the generated element types files">
      </elementTypeSet>
   </extension>

Hi Ansgar,

thanks for the reply, I managed to do a quick test with your patch:

The generation of the palette definition from the old xml format works.
Some stereotypes of the new palette don't work out of the box, but I guess that with some tweaking they will.

Thanks for sharing your patch, it could really save a lot of time even if it requires some manual editing.

Best Regards,
Nicholas
