Hi, I want to create an instance from model "UML.ecore" of org.eclipse.uml2.uml but it show this error:

Error: [Line: 16, Column: 8, Reason: A reference value was specified for the containment feature Package#packagedElement.]

If I change "UML.core", especifically the property "containment" = false of the Element "PackagedElement" works well.

I am working with epsilon_0.8.8 but if I work with epsilon_0.8.0 everything works well.

Anybody help me? Thanks.

This my file ".hutn"
--------------------------

@Spec {
metamodel "UML" {
nsUri: "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML"
}
}

uml {
Model "Model1"{
name: "Model1"
viewpoint: "Model1"
nestedPackage: Package "Package1"
}

Package "Package1"{
name: "Package1"
packagedElement: Class "Class1" /* Fails Here!!!! */
}

Class "Class1"{
name: "Class1"
}
}

Hi Raul,

It looks to me like the HUTN is slightly wrong. Try this instead:

@Spec {
	metamodel "UML" {
		nsUri: "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML"
	}
}

uml {
	Model "Model1"{
		name: "Model1"
		viewpoint: "Model1"
		nestedPackage: Package "Package1"
	}
	
	Package "Package1"{
		name: "Package1"
		packagedElement: Class "Class1"{
		                 	name: "Class1"
		                 }
	}
}

We added extra HUTN validation after Epsilon 0.8.0, which included a check to ensure that reference values aren't used in containment slots. As you mentioned, Package#packagedElement is a container, and so it must contain Class1. Notice that the HUTN above reflects the containment structure: The Class object, Class1, is now contained inside the Package object, Package1.

For reference, multiple classes can be included in a package by separating their definitions with a comma. For example:

@Spec {
	metamodel "UML" {
		nsUri: "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML"
	}
}

uml {
	Package "Package1"{
		name: "Package1"
		packagedElement: Class "Class1"{
		                 	name: "Class1"
		                 }, Class "Class2"{
		                 	name: "Class2"
		                 }
	}
}

Best,
Louis.
