Hi,

I'm trying to install QVTo 3.5 on Kepler. I've had to install features one by one due to QVTo SDK includes the coverage plugin which has dependencies with Eclipse UI 3.107 (kepler has Eclipse UI 3.105).

With core, runtime, debug and editor installed, I cannot create a QVTo project. That project kind does not appear in the 'New Project' wizard. In addition, Eclipse does not recognise the QVToNature nature of the project.

On the other hand, I can launch transformations with no problems.

So, have I missed something when installing QVTo?

PS: I have installed QVTo on Eclipse Mars, using QVTo SDK, and it works.

Hi

Backporting has never been a supported QVTo capability, but it should work.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=480634 raised.

It looks as if insufficient consideration was given when adding the
coverage plugins. You might find that you can just leave them out.

The QVToNature is a funny that I think I have seen. Have you restarted
Eclipse? Have you made sure that you also have a Java nature and source
folders?

Thank you, Ed.

About natures, yes, I restarted the IDE (the common restart after installing new software).

About Java, do you mean Java projects? If so, Java projects have the Java nature and their source folder.

Regards.

Hi

Your QVTo project should be a Java project with an extra QVToNature.

IIRC a simpler project with just a QVToNature is deceptively useless.

HI Ed,

I'm sorry, I've been very busy during the week.

Well, trying on Eclipse Mars, the 'SimpleUML to RDB' example project is not a Java project. If I try to create a QVTo project (I cannot on Kepler due to the explanation above), the creation wizard lets me select the type of the project among simple project, plug-in project or java project. So, that makes me think that the project needs not to be a Java project. Am I wrong?

Regards,

Hi

In Eclipse an X project is a project with an X nature. Natures are not
generally exclusive, so a project can be a Java+QVTo+Xtext project.

The New Project wizard gives you some helpful starters that you can
typically extend by a Configure->Add Nature menu option, or cutting and
pasting the .project file.

The example attached is a JET+Java+QVTo+Xtext+Plugin project.

The Simple UML to RDBMS example has the slightly surprising

<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml.project.QVTONature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.pde.PluginNature</nature>
</natures>

making it a QVTo+Plugin project.

Maybe my nagging doubt about a Java nature is a red herring.

Have a look at your configuration to check whether the plugins started.

BUT: Bottom line is that you are handcrafting a non-standard unsupported
solution.

Hi,

I've downloaded the QVTo plugins into my workspace. I've realized that the plugin 'org.eclipse.m2m.qvto.oml.ui' is not added to the feature 'org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml.feature'. It can explain why I cannot create a QVTo project from the 'New Project' wizard. (I've checked the list of installed plugins on Eclipse Kepler and '...oml.ui' does not appear). It works by installing the plugin in dropins or plugins folder .

Thank you!

Regards,

Hi

You should find that

https://hudson.eclipse.org/qvt-oml/job/qvto-branch-tests/47/artifact/MMT-QVTo.downloads/mmt-qvto-Update-N201510311509.zip

can be installed on Kepler.
