Hi

I'm trying to clear OCL Bug 517145 by providing some tutorial information in the Oxygen OCL documentation on use of OCL constraints on class/profile/instance diagrams in Papyrus, but I'm stuck when it comes to drawing explanatory diagrams. Papyrus support for InstanceValues seems pretty ropey. See Bug 517689.

If any Papyrus experts out there can draw UML 2.5 Fig 9.30, 9.31 and 9.32, please attach the models to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517145.

Regards

I would not call myself an expert but here is my attempt at drawing what you wanted.
I had a couple of problems.

First it appears that there is no way to change the name of the roles of the InstanceSpecificationLink. They are stuck at Don and Josh.
Second, there does not seem to be a way to draw desired king of link between the ":Window" and the "medium : Area" InstanceSpecifications. The attached screenshot shows the available options.

Ed, let me know if this is sufficient for you and I will attach the model to the bug.

Hi

Thanks for trying. Your "size : Area = medium" I failed at, my RHS was blank.

Your and my failure to correctly label Don and Josh ends is a killer. How can I possibly have such a howler in a tutorial?

Have you tried 'saving' and reloading? I found that the Instance Specification Link was not persisted, so I do not know how it should be modeled it in UML.

I have resorted to Open Office for my Object Diagrams; I can draw what I want, especially UML-like rather than pedantically Papyrus-subset UML, and I don't have such a painful UI speed.

Regards

The second issue is already has a bug here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=439222.
There is a link to it from a bug you wrote in 2015. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=458395.

I don't see any bugs reports about not being able to rename InstanceSpecificationLink roles. Do you want to write it?

I was able to save and reload without any problems.

I agree that the development pace of Papyrus is painfully slow but at least there is some progress.

Hi

(Please refrain from adding a trailing dot to links.)

I am afraid that I raise so many bugs that I cannot remember them all.

The ends of an InstanceSpecifcation link should be hardwired, but to the Property names not the Instance names. The fifth observation in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517689 should cover the bad naming.

The sixth observation might be related to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517734
