Hello Yordan,
So, you want to convert Notes, which are notation element, to Comments, which
are UML semantic elements.
Actions to convert Notes to Comments and back are implemented in UML2 Tools
in all Structure diagrams, where 'Comment' element do exist. There is no
'Comment' element on Activity diagram, so, the functionality is not implemented
there.
But, Yordan, you can use org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.common.actions.ConvertNoteToComment Action
class to solve your problem.
1) You can add a mapping for Comment element to Activity diagram, re-generate
it, and then just repeat functionality from Class diagram editor (take a
look at TurnNoteIntoCommentAction).
2) If you don't want to add a new mapping, Notes can be converted into Comments,
and Comments will not be shown on the diagram, but they will be persisted
in model. Here you can ConvertNoteToCommentAction class, but as you won't
be able to create a View for Comments, make you should createCommentView(Comment
c) method empty.
Best wishes,
Tanya.

There is a Tutorial 'How to regenerate UML2 Tools diagrams' -- http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2Tools_How_To_Regenerage_Diag rams.
It describes every steps of diagram generating in details. It can help a lot.

What if the tutorial didn't help?
A big difference between generated *.gmfgen file and the file from CVS usually
means, that
1) GMF Generation couldn't find GMF Trace plugin which is responsible for
Visual ID preservation.
What to do? Make sure org.eclipse.gmf.bridge.trace plugin is in your 'source'
workspace. And if it isn't -- check it out from the GMF CVS.
2) GMF couldn't load the corresponding *.gmfgen file, because it uses latest
changes from GMFGen Extension.
What to do? Select *.gmfgen file, in the context menu call 'Open with> GMFGen
Model Editor'. Did it open without any problem? If not, make sure you have
'org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.codegen' and 'org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.codegen.edit'
plugins in your workspace, and their sources are up-to-date.
I hope your problems with generation will be solved soon.
Tanya.

A big difference between generated *.gmfgen file and the file from CVS usually
means, that
1) GMF Generation couldn't find GMF Trace plugin which is responsible for
Visual ID preservation.
What to do? Make sure org.eclipse.gmf.bridge.trace plugin is in your 'source'
workspace. And if it isn't -- check it out from the GMF CVS.
2) GMF couldn't load the corresponding *.gmfgen file, because it uses latest
changes from GMFGen Extension.
