Hi

In preparation for a larger project, I am trying to apply - to a trivial C++ project - the reverse engineering method that leverages Papyrus Designer.

Note that I am new to this process and to the forum, so please kindly let me know if I missed anything, including regarding forum protocol ;-)

I am using Eclipse Photon CDT (Platform 4.8.0, CDT 9.5.2) and Papyrus for UML 4.1.0 with C++ profile 1.0.5 (All components on the latest version of Photon's release train).

I do get the .uml file created in the reversed_models directory, and that appears to have the expected contents. I then copy that file to a Papyrus project, and convert it to a Papyrus model using the C_CPP profile, while only selecting the Class Diagram option.

During that processing, I get the following null pointer exception in the event log:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Would anyone have encountered this error, and know perhaps what I am missing or if this is just not working in the present Photon release train?

Any advice much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hi,

can you please check, whether the problem also exists with the 1.1.0 version that you can install from the following update-site (which we'd like to release this week):

Hi Ansgar,

I just retried the whole conversion process, after upgrading Papyrus Designer as per your post:
- Reverse C++ to new UML model
- Copy the resulting .uml file to new Papyrus project
- Select New->Papyrus Model from contextual menu on the newly copied .uml file in Papyrus project, to convert it while using the C++ profile and only selecting Class Diagrams.


The same error occurs:

BTW, the Papyrus project does get populated with .di, .notation, and .uml file upon conversion. The class diagram remains empty however...

I attached the minimal project I use to test this.

Thank you for looking into it :)

When I create the vector.di/.notation from the .uml file via File -> New Papyrus Model, I can't reproduce the exception (yet it's likely a Papyrus bug)

However, it's quite normal that the class diagram is initially empty: by default, the diagram is not synchronized with the model, i.e in general it only contains a subset of the elements of your models, unless you synchronize it. You can either activate "Sync with model" in the "Appearance" tab of the property view or rag&drop the Vector class from the model-explorer into the diagram. Then again, you do not see any the attributes and operations first. Again, you have the choice to either add the elements you want to see explicitly via drag&drop or by pressing F4 ("Filters -> Show/Hide contents" in the context menu) or activating "Sync with model" after selecting the Vector class (with the disadvantage that behaviors are shown as nested classifiers, but you can hide this compartment via Filters -> Show/Hide compartments").

Ok. That worked, in spite of the exception seen in the event log. Thank you very much for the hints!
