hi,

Is there a way, (in code) to not show the classes in the component diagram?

I also want to , (in code) draw lines between ports of components, a quick
way to represent connectors because they are not working. Is this possible?

Hi Nick,

> Is there a way, (in code) to not show the classes in the component
> diagram?

To remove "Create Class" palette entry from the toolbar, comment(or delete
=)) the appropriate row in UMLPaletteFactory:
//paletteContainer.add(createClass4CreationTool());
After this user won't be able to create Class in the Component Diagram Editor.

But user can create Classes in the UML Editor (*.uml file) and hence Classes
will be shown on the diagram. If you don't want to have such classes shown,
UMLDiagramUpdater class should be modified. Class2EditParts shouldn't be
added to PackageEditPart:
UMLDiagramUpdater#getPackage_1000SemanticChildren() {
....
// if (visualID == Class2EditPart.VISUAL_ID) {
// result.add(new UMLNodeDescriptor(childElement, visualID));
// continue;
// }
....}

Nick, what exact problem do you have with Connector elements? I have correct
Connectors on my diagram. Please specify the incorrect behavior if you have
any. We are going to focuse on the quality (many requests will be fixed)
before the M5 misestone! It's time to tell us about problems you faced=)

Good luck,
Tanya.

I seemed to have been working with an older version. I can now see

I model an assembly connection by having a property A typed to component
1, property B typed to component 2, a connector with 2 connector ends,
their type is set to property A and B.

So what I get is a ball socket connection between the two components
(which is what I get because the usage/realization is set) and I get two
properties in component 1 with a Blue arrow between them.

This is how it should be right?

Could you send me an implementation of an assembly connector between two
ports/components? in the form of a .uml file? (nickkirtley at gmail.com)

I know I haven't actually posted a question/problem as such, but I just
want to make sure I've got it right. and I might also have to change
something. But more about that later ;)

thanks for your help

Hi Tatiana,
You posted the above message earlier this week, regarding focus on M5.
Maybe it's time to repost the message I sent on 11/2/2007 about problems
with the class diagrams. I copied that message below, with one note about
an update, but otherwise all issues remain. In particular, the last two
general issues are still critical blockers. Are there any plans for how
they can be addressed? Are they a fundamental design limitation of GMF?


These critical bugs remain in class diagram support, and all are
show-stoppers in my attempt to create a modeling tool for use in HL7
healthcare standards. A lot of effort is being put into creating new diagram
types, but the class diagram is still unusable by most end-user modelers.

* AssociationClass does not display correctly. Also, the pallet command for
creating a new AssociationClass should behave like adding a new Association,
not adding a classifier. My work with healthcare models uses many
association classes, and this bug is is very critical for us.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=204733

[Update]: now can create an AssociationClass on diagram, but very difficult
to use. It should appear on the pallet along with other associations, where
user can drag from source to destination class, and create a new
AssociationClass that connects them.

* Properties participating in associations should be filtered from
attributes compartments
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185046

* Many stereotypes do not display on class diagrams, e.g. on Assoiation,
AssociationClass, Property in attributes compartment.

* Impossible to edit Association link source/destination properties in
diagram editor
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174003

Not critical, but annoying issues:

* Hide compartment labels (attributes, operations, classes)

* Filter displayed compartments (e.g. only attributes showing)

* Filter stereotypes that are displayed, e.g. turn on/off shape or
compartment stereotypes labels.

Other more general, but critical bugs:

* There must be a complete common navigator model view that uses a shared
editing domain with all diagrams. I've attached some tentative patches and
suggestions for these bugs:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139767
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=189974

*Ability to drag/drop model elements from the common navigator onto any
diagram.

* Ability to create multiple diagram views of one Package

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the observation. Assemply Connectors are not supported in UML2Tools
at the moment. There is buglizza #197253 '[ComponentD] - Support for assembly
connector's'.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.

Ok so it's going to be changed to a situation where a connector will be
between two ports (ports chosen based on the type-value of the
properties)? That's how I think it should be anyway.

Dave,

We'll necessarily take your requests into account. All the changes will be
reflected in the bugzilla.
Couple of words concerning critical blockers,

> * Many stereotypes do not display on class diagrams, e.g. on
> Assoiation, AssociationClass, Property in attributes compartment.
Is there a request in the bugzilla? If not, could you please submit one?

> * Impossible to edit Association link source/destination properties in
> diagram editor
> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174003
We'll consider it soon.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.

another strange thing i've encountererd with the compD is that when I have
a ball/socket notation because I have a required/provided combination then
it shows a ball socket with 3 lines - one going to each port and one going
to the required component(which shouldn't be the case). Are you getting
the same? I can send a screenshot if needed.

Dave,

I don't mean to throw salt into open wounds, but when there are critical
blocking issues in an open source offering, the option to contribute
toward their resolution is always open and likely would be greatly
appreciated. I understand that the technology is complex and that this
self service option is a difficult one, but looking a gift horse in the
mouth and reporting the state of the teeth is only good for creating a
problem report. Don't get me wrong, problem reports are valuable as
well, but once you've filed it , you'll just have to wait patiently for
the free dental work to kick in with the recognition of the fact that
free dental clinics tend to be swamped with those desiring the services.

Dave,

That's cool. I've wanted to dive in with the Ecore Tools stuff to help
support generics better, but it's indeed a big learning curve and I
don't have so much time for it. So I sympathize with everyone
involved. As a user you want to use it and find things get in the way
and are frustrated by that , while as a developer you are working as
hard as you possibly can and folks still complain. Of course everything
that's already working well is taken for granted and only the
shortcomings seem to loom large. It's just human nature...

Hi Tatiana,
First of all, I *do* want to thank you and the UML2Tools team for all their
hard work (and not just list the defects :-) Looking forward to meeting
with you all at EclipseCon.

Is this bug sufficient for the stereotype display? If not, I'll submit a
new one.

Hello Nick,

Unfortunately, I cannot verify or deny your observation at the moment, because
#183754 '[ComponentD, ClassD] Port Provided/Required interface links' is
still open. Required Interface link is created incorrectly. Anyway, if you
want to fix it yourself, take a look at UMLDiagramUpdater. The problem (if
it exists) should be located there.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.

Hi Nick,

> diagram?

To remove "Create Class" palette entry from the toolbar, comment(or delete
=)) the appropriate row in UMLPaletteFactory:
//paletteContainer.add(createClass4CreationTool());
After this user won't be able to create Class in the Component Diagram Editor.

But user can create Classes in the UML Editor (*.uml file) and hence Classes
will be shown on the diagram. If you don't want to have such classes shown,
UMLDiagramUpdater class should be modified. Class2EditParts shouldn't be
added to PackageEditPart:
UMLDiagramUpdater#getPackage_1000SemanticChildren() {
....
// if (visualID == Class2EditPart.VISUAL_ID) {
// result.add(new UMLNodeDescriptor(childElement, visualID));
// continue;
// }
....}

Nick, what exact problem do you have with Connector elements? I have correct
Connectors on my diagram. Please specify the incorrect behavior if you have
any. We are going to focuse on the quality (many requests will be fixed)
before the M5 misestone! It's time to tell us about problems you faced=)

Good luck,
Tanya.

I seemed to have been working with an older version. I can now see

I model an assembly connection by having a property A typed to component

their type is set to property A and B.

So what I get is a ball socket connection between the two components
(which is what I get because the usage/realization is set) and I get two
properties in component 1 with a Blue arrow between them.

This is how it should be right?

Could you send me an implementation of an assembly connector between two
ports/components? in the form of a .uml file? (nickkirtley at gmail.com)

I know I haven't actually posted a question/problem as such, but I just
want to make sure I've got it right. and I might also have to change
something. But more about that later ;)

thanks for your help

nick

Hi Tatiana,
You posted the above message earlier this week, regarding focus on M5.
Maybe it's time to repost the message I sent on 11/2/2007 about problems
with the class diagrams. I copied that message below, with one note about
an update, but otherwise all issues remain. In particular, the last two
general issues are still critical blockers. Are there any plans for how
they can be addressed? Are they a fundamental design limitation of GMF?


These critical bugs remain in class diagram support, and all are
show-stoppers in my attempt to create a modeling tool for use in HL7
healthcare standards. A lot of effort is being put into creating new diagram
types, but the class diagram is still unusable by most end-user modelers.

* AssociationClass does not display correctly. Also, the pallet command for
creating a new AssociationClass should behave like adding a new Association,
not adding a classifier. My work with healthcare models uses many
association classes, and this bug is is very critical for us.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=204733

[Update]: now can create an AssociationClass on diagram, but very difficult
to use. It should appear on the pallet along with other associations, where
user can drag from source to destination class, and create a new
AssociationClass that connects them.

* Properties participating in associations should be filtered from
attributes compartments
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185046

* Many stereotypes do not display on class diagrams, e.g. on Assoiation,
AssociationClass, Property in attributes compartment.

* Impossible to edit Association link source/destination properties in
diagram editor
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174003

Not critical, but annoying issues:

* Hide compartment labels (attributes, operations, classes)

* Filter displayed compartments (e.g. only attributes showing)

* Filter stereotypes that are displayed, e.g. turn on/off shape or
compartment stereotypes labels.

Other more general, but critical bugs:

* There must be a complete common navigator model view that uses a shared
editing domain with all diagrams. I've attached some tentative patches and
suggestions for these bugs:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139767
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=189974

*Ability to drag/drop model elements from the common navigator onto any
diagram.

* Ability to create multiple diagram views of one Package

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the observation. Assemply Connectors are not supported in UML2Tools
at the moment. There is buglizza #197253 '[ComponentD] - Support for assembly
connector's'.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.

Ok so it's going to be changed to a situation where a connector will be

properties)? That's how I think it should be anyway.

Dave,

I don't mean to throw salt into open wounds, but when there are critical
blocking issues in an open source offering, the option to contribute
toward their resolution is always open and likely would be greatly
appreciated. I understand that the technology is complex and that this
self service option is a difficult one, but looking a gift horse in the
mouth and reporting the state of the teeth is only good for creating a
problem report. Don't get me wrong, problem reports are valuable as
well, but once you've filed it , you'll just have to wait patiently for
the free dental work to kick in with the recognition of the fact that
free dental clinics tend to be swamped with those desiring the services.

Hi Tatiana,
You posted the above message earlier this week, regarding focus on M5.
Maybe it's time to repost the message I sent on 11/2/2007 about problems
with the class diagrams. I copied that message below, with one note about
an update, but otherwise all issues remain. In particular, the last two
general issues are still critical blockers. Are there any plans for how
they can be addressed? Are they a fundamental design limitation of GMF?


These critical bugs remain in class diagram support, and all are
show-stoppers in my attempt to create a modeling tool for use in HL7
healthcare standards. A lot of effort is being put into creating new diagram
types, but the class diagram is still unusable by most end-user modelers.

* AssociationClass does not display correctly. Also, the pallet command for
creating a new AssociationClass should behave like adding a new Association,
not adding a classifier. My work with healthcare models uses many
association classes, and this bug is is very critical for us.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=204733">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=204733</a>

[Update]: now can create an AssociationClass on diagram, but very difficult
to use. It should appear on the pallet along with other associations, where
user can drag from source to destination class, and create a new
AssociationClass that connects them.

* Properties participating in associations should be filtered from
attributes compartments
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185046">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185046</a>

* Many stereotypes do not display on class diagrams, e.g. on Assoiation,
AssociationClass, Property in attributes compartment.

* Impossible to edit Association link source/destination properties in
diagram editor
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174003">https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=174003</a>

Not critical, but annoying issues:

* Hide compartment labels (attributes, operations, classes)

* Filter displayed compartments (e.g. only attributes showing)

* Filter stereotypes that are displayed, e.g. turn on/off shape or
compartment stereotypes labels.

Other more general, but critical bugs:

* There must be a complete common navigator model view that uses a shared
editing domain with all diagrams. I've attached some tentative patches and
suggestions for these bugs:

Hi Ed,

need to spend A LOT of time learning the fundamentals of GMF code =

Dave,

That's cool. I've wanted to dive in with the Ecore Tools stuff to help
support generics better, but it's indeed a big learning curve and I
don't have so much time for it. So I sympathize with everyone
involved. As a user you want to use it and find things get in the way
and are frustrated by that , while as a developer you are working as
hard as you possibly can and folks still complain. Of course everything
that's already working well is taken for granted and only the
shortcomings seem to loom large. It's just human nature...

Hi Tatiana,
First of all, I *do* want to thank you and the UML2Tools team for all their
hard work (and not just list the defects :-) Looking forward to meeting
with you all at EclipseCon.

Is this bug sufficient for the stereotype display? If not, I'll submit a
new one.

Hello Nick,

Unfortunately, I cannot verify or deny your observation at the moment, because
#183754 '[ComponentD, ClassD] Port Provided/Required interface links' is
still open. Required Interface link is created incorrectly. Anyway, if you
want to fix it yourself, take a look at UMLDiagramUpdater. The problem (if
it exists) should be located there.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.
