@Louis: Papyrus is a set of editors for the UML2 metamodels in the Eclipse UML project, I believe. I *think* it adds support for the SysML metamodels on top of that, but I haven't tried it.
@Timothy: I have used EWL to define wizards for Papyrus diagrams using the MARTE profile, in addition to UML2, without much problems [1]. Feel free to have a look at the code.
If you need to define a wizard on an UML2 element and use elements from a different profile at the same time, you may find the patch in this report useful:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=335522
It extends EWL a little to make it more useful in this context. If you're only working with UML2 itself, you won't really need it, I think.

@Antonio: Thanks for that quick reply. Acutally, I have to work with UML2 +
my user-defined profile. What I'd like to achieve is to merge two identical
elements in the diagram. In my case this affects OpaqueActions, stereotyped
by a particular stereotype of my personal profile. The result should be a
new element, representing the merged actions. Due to its simplicity, I hoped
EWL can be exploited for this. And you answer is quite promising. Is your
bug related to MARTE solely or to any profile?
Thanks again
Timothy

It's related to any profile, I believe. In general, it's a problem due to the current restriction in the E*L languages that 1 model == 1 metamodel. The bug report describes it in much more depth, but here's the basic idea for EWL:
- if you need to have the wizards appear in standard UML2 elements (Actions, in your case), you need to set the metamodeluri attribute in your EWL extension to the UML2 URI.
- if you need to work with types in your profile's metamodel, you need to set the metamodeluri attribute in your EWL extension to the URI of your profile's metamodel.
As you can see, you can't meet both requirements at the same time.
What I do with my patch is add a new attribute which allows you to set the UML2 URI in the metamodeluri attribute and use a new attribute to load more metamodels into Epsilon's model registry. This ensures both that the wizards appear when right-clicking on UML2 elements and that the types in your profile's metamodel are available.
P.S.: didn't Papyrus' UML2 editors already have OpaqueActions? I recall having used them for my own diagrams :-S.

Hi Antonio,
thanks again. Actually, what I develop is a UML2 profile, where most of the
base classes are OpaqueActions, but stereotyped OpaqueActions.
Thanks for your detailed answers. I'm pretty sure they help - if not, I'll
definitely come back to you ;-) The general answer, that it is in principle
possible has erased my first doubts.
So long
Timothy

Hey Antonia,
today, I started to give a try on EWL and Papyrus. Thanks for the link to
your project. May I ask you some questions beforehand, to avoid to run in
the wrong direction?
1. Is it still necessary to register the .ewl file in the preferences page?
What EPackage should I use for UML Activity diagram, for instance? In the
screencast, the .ewl was registered with a gmf-file extension, what would
not work for Papyrus, I'd say.
2. The @extraPackage in the EWL extension point was introduced by your
patch?
3. Do I have to write Java code in order to access profile information, or
will this be handled by Epsilon, when I follow your instructions and use
your patch? I'd a look in you AbstractInferenceTest.java file, that's why I
am asking this.
Thanks a lot again for your help.
Regards,
Marc-Florian
