Ed,

It is not clear for me. Could you illustrate it for me?

Manar,

What is "it"? Hasn't Kenn answered your remaining questions? I'm not a
UML2 expert by any means so it's unlikely I can answer detailed
questions about it. What specifically is still causing a problem?

Manar,

That's just a comment about what artifacts that appear in the plugin
during development end up being copied into the deployed plugin when
it's shipped as a jarred binary result. The .genmodel and .ecore models
are included but the .uml ones are not. This doesn't help you at all
with your problem though, other than make clear you need to find these
in the source plugin rather than in the binary plugin as I assumed would
be the case.

These artifacts aren't part of the binary plug-in because they are
development-time (only) resources, and clients aren't expected to make
direct references to them... There's no problem with someone building a
heavyweight extension based on these models, but since UML2 does not provide
an implementation for each of them, they either have to be factored (merged)
out or implemented from scratch.

Kenn,

I see. That makes perfect sense. Either clients do the same merging
you've done to arrive at an extension of the UML implementation you have
provided or they generate all the things they need that aren't provide
by UML directly because you've merged those concepts away.

That's just a comment about what artifacts that appear in the plugin
during development end up being copied into the deployed plugin when it's
shipped as a jarred binary result. The .genmodel and .ecore models are
included but the .uml ones are not. This doesn't help you at all with
your problem though, other than make clear you need to find these in the

In the final step of the wizard, you need to specify a GenModel

I'm sure you'll need to specify a dependency on the UML2 model in the
final step of the wizard if you are trying to extend that
model.&nbsp; Note
that once the plugin.xml and MANIFEST.MF exist, they won't be
regenerated unless you delete them, so even fixing the problems above
won't fix these files unless you delete them before you generate.

I'd like to thank you for that illustration. But, I didn't get the
difference between these direction clear for me. Moreover, I am still
have a problem in what I am doing. I didn't know for which direction it
belongs.

I am doing a trial for building a metamodel that hasn't any merge
package, but just load a resource for the infrastructureLibrary package
as a file system from the UML source in the plugin older. The result has
two undesired things:
1- I obligated to generate code for all the subpackages in the
InfrastructureLibrary
2- the generated code has errors

Manar,

I hate to tread in territory where I'm ignorant, but if you want to
extend the UML2 implementation, which is based on a merge model of all
the various compliance points, you really need to be basing it on a
merged model, otherwise you will end up having to reimplement much of
what Kenn has worked very hard to implement correctly for UML2...

Ed, you make a good point about reimplementing existing work.
The table at the end of this article goes over some of the pros/cons of
doing what Manar is attempting.
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Custo mizing_UML2_Which_Technique_is_Right_For_You/article.html

Manar, What errors are you getting in the generated code?

James,

In the generated code I found errors in all the impl files states that a
xxx can't be resolved as a type, where xxx is changed from file to
another. This error raise in the generated code of the
InfrastructureLibrary package and my package. (Note: I didn't want to
generate code to the InfrastructureLibrary package)

thanks,
Manar,

Manar,

James will probably be too nice to tell you this, but the sparse details
you are providing will never prompt a definitive or helpful answer. As
has been explained, UML generates from a merged Ecore model, not
separate models for each of the separate compliance points, so if you
don't produce a merged Ecore model that extends the UML merged Ecore
model, you are responsible for generating everything yourself. Keep in
mind that xxx doesn't provide much for James to go on, but it sounds
like you'd need to generate the model for xxx as well but haven't.

Manar,

What is "it"? Hasn't Kenn answered your remaining questions? I'm not a
UML2 expert by any means so it's unlikely I can answer detailed
questions about it. What specifically is still causing a problem?

Manar,

That's just a comment about what artifacts that appear in the plugin
during development end up being copied into the deployed plugin when
it's shipped as a jarred binary result. The .genmodel and .ecore models
are included but the .uml ones are not. This doesn't help you at all
with your problem though, other than make clear you need to find these
in the source plugin rather than in the binary plugin as I assumed would
be the case.

These artifacts aren't part of the binary plug-in because they are
development-time (only) resources, and clients aren't expected to make
direct references to them... There's no problem with someone building a
heavyweight extension based on these models, but since UML2 does not provide
an implementation for each of them, they either have to be factored (merged)
out or implemented from scratch.

Kenn,

I see. That makes perfect sense. Either clients do the same merging
you've done to arrive at an extension of the UML implementation you have
provided or they generate all the things they need that aren't provide
by UML directly because you've merged those concepts away.

That's just a comment about what artifacts that appear in the plugin
during development end up being copied into the deployed plugin when it's
shipped as a jarred binary result. The .genmodel and .ecore models are
included but the .uml ones are not. This doesn't help you at all with
your problem though, other than make clear you need to find these in the
source plugin rather than in the binary plugin as I assumed would be the
case.

Kenn,

I see. That makes perfect sense. Either clients do the same merging =
you've done to arrive at an extension of the UML implementation you have =
provided or they generate all the things they need that aren't provide =
by UML directly because you've merged those concepts away.


Kenn Hussey wrote:=20
These artifacts aren't part of the binary plug-in because they are=20
development-time (only) resources, and clients aren't expected to make=20
direct references to them... There's no problem with someone building a=20
heavyweight extension based on these models, but since UML2 does not =
provide=20
an implementation for each of them, they either have to be factored =
(merged)=20
out or implemented from scratch.

Manar,

That's just a comment about what artifacts that appear in the plugin=20

it's=20
shipped as a jarred binary result. The .genmodel and .ecore models are=20

I'd like to thank you for that illustration. But, I didn't get the
difference between these direction clear for me. Moreover, I am still
have a problem in what I am doing. I didn't know for which direction it
belongs.

I am doing a trial for building a metamodel that hasn't any merge
package, but just load a resource for the infrastructureLibrary package
as a file system from the UML source in the plugin older. The result has
two undesired things:
1- I obligated to generate code for all the subpackages in the
InfrastructureLibrary
2- the generated code has errors

Manar,

I hate to tread in territory where I'm ignorant, but if you want to
extend the UML2 implementation, which is based on a merge model of all
the various compliance points, you really need to be basing it on a
merged model, otherwise you will end up having to reimplement much of
what Kenn has worked very hard to implement correctly for UML2...

Ed, you make a good point about reimplementing existing work.
The table at the end of this article goes over some of the pros/cons of
doing what Manar is attempting.
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/articles/Custo mizing_UML2_Which_Technique_is_Right_For_You/article.html

Manar, What errors are you getting in the generated code?

James,

In the generated code I found errors in all the impl files states that a
xxx can't be resolved as a type, where xxx is changed from file to
another. This error raise in the generated code of the
InfrastructureLibrary package and my package. (Note: I didn't want to
generate code to the InfrastructureLibrary package)

thanks,
Manar,

Manar,

James will probably be too nice to tell you this, but the sparse details
you are providing will never prompt a definitive or helpful answer. As
has been explained, UML generates from a merged Ecore model, not
separate models for each of the separate compliance points, so if you
don't produce a merged Ecore model that extends the UML merged Ecore
model, you are responsible for generating everything yourself. Keep in
mind that xxx doesn't provide much for James to go on, but it sounds
like you'd need to generate the model for xxx as well but haven't.
