Compatibility of models from 2.0.3 and 2.1 [message #473449] Thu, 28 June 2007 17:04 Go to next message

I saved a model using UML2 2.1 (created using the UML2Tools editor), then
attempted to open it in an older workspace using UML2 2.0.3. I got lots of
ClassCastException and NullPointerException, resulting from EMF
deserializing everything to AnyType. Opening in the UML2 tree editor for
2.0.3, it defaulted to the EMF generic reflective edit providers.

I discovered that this is because UML2.2.1 saves models using the URI
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML, whereas
http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML is used in the 2.0.3 release. I found
a note about this in the New and Noteworthy. However, a specific note about
lack of backward compatibility should be added.

In the 2.1 release of org.eclipse.uml2.uml, the following extension points
allow both new and old models to be opened:

<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package">
<package
uri = "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML"
class = "org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage"
genModel = "model/UML.genmodel" />
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package">
<package
uri = "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML"
class = "org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage"
genModel = "model/UML.genmodel" />
</extension>

If I add the 2.1.0 URI declaration to my plugin used with UML2 2.0.3, then
new models are opened there without error. Although, I realize that some
Activity models created using the new release will not open successfully in
the 2.0.3 tools.

Any other workarounds to allow new models to be opened in 2.0.3 release
tools?

Thanks,
Dave Carlson

Hi Dave,

There is a 2.0.4 maintenance release that you should upgrade your 2.0.3
users that will allow them to open up 2.1 models in the older version.
There is a minor issue that was discovered just the other day so a new build
of 2.0.4 will be produced.
There is also a draft version of a migration document that will be published
explaining all of this and why the metamodel was changed.
I will attach the draft version of the migration doc on bugzilla 77413 later
today.

Cheers,

- James.

Hi James,
Great, thanks for the details. I was surprised not to see this mentioned
before, but am not surprised by the thoroughness of your team's response in
resolving it :-)

Hi Dave,

Kenn mentioned it in the newsgroup in a posting entitled "Namespace URI for
UML2 2.1" . I agree that this might be a little obscure :) The "new &
noteworthy" link is probably the best way to keep on top of new features or
important bug fixes.

I just attached a draft document to bugzilla 77413. Let me know if that
answers all the issues you had.

Cheers,

- James.

Hi Dave,

I would recommend picking up the latest M build of 2.0.4 to test migration.
It can be found here:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/news/relnotes.php?projec t=uml2&version=M200707041607
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/downloads/?project=uml2& amp;showAll=1&hlbuild=M200707041607#M200707041607


The format of the plugin specification has changed slightly. Try using the
following in a debug envirionment
-Dorg.eclipse.uml2.common.util.CacheAdapter.INSTANCE=org.ecl ipse.uml2.uml:or
g.eclipse.uml2.uml.util.UMLCacheAdapter

Without setting that variable, you will not be able to open up 2.1 models in
2.0.4 environment.

An updated migration document will be posted soon.

Regards,

- James.

James,

Without that system property, you'll be able to open 2.1 models in 2.0.4,
but models containing transitions and/or connectors will be incomplete.

Hi Dave,

I would recommend picking up the latest M build of 2.0.4 to test migration.
It can be found here:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/news/relnotes.php?projec t=uml2&version=M200707041607
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/downloads/?project=uml2& amp;showAll=1&hlbuild=M200707041607#M200707041607


The format of the plugin specification has changed slightly. Try using the
following in a debug envirionment
-Dorg.eclipse.uml2.common.util.CacheAdapter.INSTANCE=org.ecl ipse.uml2.uml:or
g.eclipse.uml2.uml.util.UMLCacheAdapter

Without setting that variable, you will not be able to open up 2.1 models in
2.0.4 environment.

An updated migration document will be posted soon.

Regards,

- James.
