Hello
below is the text of a tutorial I wrote for a UML class I teach at local university. At that time we were using Neon I think? Anyway this worked for us, hope it can help you too!
(p.s. anyone welcome to post feedback or improvements to the tutorial!)

System analysis with UML: an industry perspective
Tutorial on round trip engineering

Background
Reverse engineering means to import a software source code into a tool like Papyrus and see the software structure in Model Explorer and diagrams.
Forward engineering means to generate software source code from a model, like a Papyrus class diagram.
Round trip engineering means to go full circle starting with reverse engineering, changing the model (class diagram), then forward engineering the new source code.
Preparation
You need to install an additional module in Papyrus. A working internet connection is needed.
1. Start Papyrus, then on menu Help / Install Papyrus Additional Components
a. It takes a few minutes for papyrus to show the available components
2. Select Designer Java
a. This installs all the components needed for Java round trip engineering
b. (Note: a different component is available for C++ ((Designer-CPP))
c. Incubation means that the component is still under development: some bugs are possible
3. Click Finish or OK to all buttons including Papyrus restart
a. After restart the installation is complete
Reverse engineering a Java program
1. Make a new folder in a new location on your hard disk, call it "Engineering"
2. Inside Engineering make another folder called "Code"
3. Download the file "Code.zip" into the "Engineering" folder and unzip it
4. Papyrus Java reverse engineering works only in a Java package. To have a clear, easy to use structure we will create one Papyrus workspace containing two Papyrus projects: a Java project for reverse engineering and a Papyrus project for editing and forward engineering
a. Start Papyrus / File / Switch workspace / Other / Browse
b. Select your Engineering folder
c. Papyrus will shut down and restart in the Engineering workspace
5. File / New / Project / Java / Java Project. Call it "Reverse". Click "No" on the "Open associated perspective" menu.
6. File / New / Papyrus / Papyrus Project / UML call it "Forward" / Finish
a. We now have 2 Projects in our Project explorer
7. Import the Java source code into Papyrus. Note that you must import *.java source code, not *.class compiled binaries
a. Create a Java package in Reverse. Right click in src package in Reverse / New / Package, call it "Import"
b. Right click on the new Import package / Import / General / File system / Next / From directory / find and select the Code directory / Select all / Deselect loggerControl.txt / Finish
8. The imported classes appear on Project Explorer. They have not yet been reverse engineered (Papyrus cannot use them yet).
a. To reverse engineer, right click on the Import package / Java / Java Reverse
b. The reverse engineer menu appears. Rename the default creation package to "Forward" and click OK. The reverse engineered classes appear in a package in the Forward project. Papyrus can use these reversed classes now!
c. (Note: it is also possible to reverse engineer one class at a time by right clicking on the class)
9. Click "Save all" in menu to save your work
10. Take a look at the imported classes via Model Explorer. See the classes, associations, operations and attributes.
11. Now look at your reverse engineered classes in a class diagram
a. Right click on the Forward package / New Diagram / Class diagram
b. Select all classes and drag them to the diagram
12. Click anywhere on the diagram, press CTRL-A to select all classes on the diagram, and using Papyrus menu select Arrange All. The classes line up on the diagram
13. Making sure all classes are still selected, press CTRL-F5 or use Papyrus menu Diagram / Filters / Show/Hide compartments
a. On the first class, expand and select only attributes and operations
b. Click on Propagate selection to make all other classes the same. Click OK.
14. Now classes show the right compartments but we must tell Papyrus to show contents.
a. Making sure all classes are still selected, press F4 or use Papyrus menu Diagram / Filters / Select the elements to show. Click Select All and OK.
b. Making sure all classes are still selected, use Papyrus menu Arrange All to clean up the diagram
15. We still don't see the associations.
a. Right click anywhere on diagram / Filters / Show All Related Links
b. Now we see a generalization and an interface realization association
Forward engineering a Papyrus Java model
1. Modify the classes as you like, either via the class diagram or the Model Explorer, and Save All
2. Right click on the Forward package / Designer / Generate Java Code
3. Leave everything on the code generation menu unchanged, click Finish
4. Done! The Java class source code had been generated in a new folder in your project workspace
a. With Windows explorer go to your workspace, there will be a new folder called "org.eclipse.papyrus.javagen.RootElement"
b. Navigate into this folder to "src" folder and you will find your forward engineered Java source code there.
c. (Note: it is also possible to forward engineer one class at a time by right clicking on the class)
