Hi Deepak,
I think the better place to find an answer to your question is UML2 newgroup.
Best wishes,
Tatiana.

Hi Tatiana, Deepak.
To figure out the extension mechanisms, try the following ...
Go to this link :
https://eclipsecon.greenmeetingsystems.com/submissions/view/ 172
Then, look at the comments at the end.
It will point you to an update site..
Add the following Update Site URL to your Update Manager:
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/updates/EclipseCon2 008-UML-Tutorial/
That will provide step by step instructions with a cheat sheet etc. The
presentation material will provide background theory on the ins and outs of
extending UML.
Cheers,
- James.
