Hello,

Is it possible to enable C++ code generation for an existing Papyrus project? I have been able to create a new project with this capability. However I can not figure out how to enable this feature after the fact.

Thanks

Hi Allen,

Yes it is possible.

Beside the Papyrus Designer (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus_Software_Designer) other choices are
* Eclipse Obeo Acceleo (https://eclipse.org/acceleo/)
and
* Eclipse XPand (https://eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/?project=xpand).

Which of these three choices fits best, depends on your specific needs.

All three choices can be added to existing projects. But most likely the existing models have to be adapted to fit the requirements of the generator.

Best regards
Carsten

Hello,

I believe by default the code generator is Obeo Acceleo. How is this enabled for an existing project?

Thanks

Hello again Carsten,

I went back to the Eclipse software configuration. This is what is reported for C++ code generation.

I don't see either of those packages installed.

Hi Allen,

your list only contains CDT (C/C++ Development Tool) parts. Consequently I assume Eclipse Obeo Acceleo is not installed.

Best regards
Carsten

Hi Allen,

Did you install the Papyrus Designer-CPP Additional Component?

Doing so would bring in all the resources to be able too do code generation to C++.

To install Designer-CPP, you can do the following:

Click on the first "Papyrus Ibis" icon on the toolbar (the one without a drop-down menu) - this will bring up the "Additional Components Discovery" dialog.
Select the "Designer-CPP" extension.
Click [Finish]

After restarting Papyrus, you will have the Designer-CPP menu items.

Hi Allen,

if you install Papyrus SW designer (and in particular the C++ or Java code generation), the code generation will be technically based on xtend. Thus, there is no need to install Acceleo.

The C++ or Java code generators support structural code generation and behavior in form of opaque behavior declarations inside the model. There is a quite complete support for state-machine code generation based on a model-2-model transformation that is executed prior to code generation. A good starting point are the examples. (File->New Example).
