How to copy only a part of a template model [message #1777031] Thu, 23 November 2017 16:57 Go to next message

Hello everyone!

I'm new in Papyrus and I try to develop a new custom plugin. I'm currently trying to copy programmatically a part of a template model (located in a other plugin) in an active Papyrus project.

I already can copy the entire template model in the project by using org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.diagram.wizards.command.InitFromTemplateCommand.

I can create new elements in the model programmatically but they are not based on the template model.

Concretely, I would copy a package (and all its owned elements) from the template model in the active project.

Could you give me a hint to do that, please? Thanks.

Yoann.

Hi Yoann,

This sounds a lot like what the "Import > Packages" action does, from the Model Explorer, which is implemented in the org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.import plug-in.

So, you may want to check the code there (AbstractImportHandler, AbstractImportCommand, ImportRegisteredPackageHandler)

(According to the FIXME comment in the code, this action doesn't support Stereotypes, only plain UML models, so additional work might be required if you are using some profiles)

HTH,
Camille

Hi Camille,

Thank you for your reply. I did not use this action before but it can be helpful indeed.

I will check the code of the plugin and three classes that you indicate.

And thank you for the last remark because I would transfer Stereotypes too. ;)

Hi,

I obtained what I would by using a custom method derived from : handleCopyPackage(Package _package) in AbstractImportHandler. Thanks for the hint which was very helpful!

Nevertheless, I now have to work on the copy of associated Stereotypes.

I would also copy diagrams from the template Package. But as they are not stored in *.uml but *.notation file, I don't know how to do that. Another hint? :)

Yoann.

Hi,

For those interested by such feature, there is my code to apply Stereotypes from a template package to a new package (working code):

public static void applyStereotypesFromPackage(Package newPackage, Package templatePackage) {

		TreeIterator<EObject> newPackageIterator = newPackage.eAllContents();
		TreeIterator<EObject> templatePackageIterator = templatePackage.eAllContents();

		while (newPackageIterator.hasNext()) {

			EObject newEObject = newPackageIterator.next();
			EObject templateEObject = templatePackageIterator.next();
			if (newEObject instanceof Element) {
				Element newElement = (Element) newEObject;
				Element templateElement = (Element) templateEObject;
				EList<Stereotype> stereotypes = templateElement.getAppliedStereotypes();

				EObject stereotypeApplication = null;
				for (Stereotype stereotype : stereotypes) {
					// 1 Apply the stereotype
					stereotypeApplication = org.eclipse.uml2.uml.util.UMLUtil.safeApplyStereotype(newElement,
							stereotype);
					// 2 Add the stereotype application to the resource
					newPackage.eResource().getContents().add(stereotypeApplication);
				}
				newEObject = newElement;
			}
		}
	}


After searching some answers about the copy action of diagrams from a model to another, i didn't read anything to do that easily. Is it a better idea to create a new Diagram using the elements of the template model?

Regards.
