Hello,

You can either add an "external java action call"[1] model operation or call a Java service[2] in a model operation in your tool.

Steve

Hi Steve,

i've tried to define a External Java Action Call.
But it is not showed in the Tool Palette.
Is there anything I have to do to let it work?

Regards,
Bo

An external java action call is a model operation in a tool. The tool will be on the palette not the external java action call.
Note that I would recommand to use a Java service instead of an external java action call. It is more direct to implent as it does not require an extension point.
