Property as a border item [message #1804781]

Hello,

Is there a way to represent a property of a class as a border item in a composite structure diagram? I can't find an adequate CSS property or appearance parameter to set.

The purpose would be to represent a property in a similar way to a port in a CSD., but I can't use a port because the code generation is not equivalent.

Thanks.

Yoann.

Hi Yoann,

No; it's not possible with CSS. You'd need to rely on a Diagram Extension model that defines a new Edit Part for "Properties as Border Items". This is a relatively advanced customization use case, so I'm not sure we have appropriate documentation for this.

Papyrus-RT has at least one example of this, for its StateMachine diagram, so if you're interested in investigating this approach, you can check https://git.eclipse.org/c/papyrus-rt/org.eclipse.papyrus-rt.git/tree/plugins/umlrt/tooling/org.eclipse.papyrusrt.umlrt.tooling.diagram.statemachine/expansion

Regards,
Camille
