[Acceleo] Papyrus UML Profiles [message #655883]

Hi,

I created an UML profile with Papyrus, and now I have a model.profile.uml file with the metamodel, and an instance of this metamodel in instance.uml.

Now I'd like to generate code from it using Acceleo. Can I somehow import the meta-model into a template? I already tried to reference it via "platform:/resource/path_to_the_profile", but it keeps telling me that the metamodel couldn't be resolved.

Do I have to use the standard UML2 metamodel instead and use UML APIs, like getAppliedStereotypes(), instead?

Thanks in advance,
Jay

EDIT
Sorry for the double post, my connection lagged and I hit the submit button twice.

Hi Jay,

Perhaps i don't understand your question.

You created an uml profile, i' think you use it in a Uml model. If you intend to generate with acceleo from this model, you can access stereotype applied to your model elements with code like this :

[query public hasStereotype(e : Element, stereotypeName : String) : Boolean = (not self.getAppliedStereotype(stereotypeNameoclIsUndefined())/]

[query public stereoPropValue(e : Element, stereotypeName : String, propertyName : String) : String = 
e.getValue(e.getAppliedStereotype(stereotypeName), propertyName)/]

stereotypeName must be qualified like this:
ProfileName::StereotypeName

Best regards

Hi Philippe,

Thank you for your response.

I just thought that I have to call something like the following, but with my profile instead of the regular UML metamodel:

[module classBody('http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML')/]

Do I just have to use the UML metamodel and can still access stereotypes applied to my model elements?

Best regards,
Jay

Hi,
Your model is an UML 2 model, use the regular UML metamodel.
You ll can access stereotype using getAppliedStereotype method on yours model elements.
