Creating a new diagram in Papyrus [message #902764]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new nested diagram in Papyrus (and generating a simple model editor for it), by following the tutorial I found here:

dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.mdt.papyrus/trunk/examples/others/org.eclipse.papyrus.example.diagram.simplediagram/docs/PapyrusDevelopperTutorial_OnDiagramCreating.odt

(Even if it's outdated, it seems to work until a certain point, and it is the only such tutorial I could find on the subject... the wiki page for Papyrus is incomplete on exactly this topic).

The error I get is when trying to generate the code for the new Papyrus diagram in an Eclipse Runtime Application (after completing all the previous steps and having a seemingly valid .gmfgen file) - right click on the .gmfgen file, and choose "Generate Papyrus Diagram":

Problems while generating code
Exception (No Definition xpt::preferences::NodePreferencePage::NodePreferencePage for GenTopLevelNode could be found!) while generating code

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem, or maybe a link to some other tutorial on diagram creation, if maybe the diagram generation steps have changed?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Alexandra Bardiau

Alexandra,

The GMF Tooling generation templates changed a lot around April 2012. Papyrus still relies on the Indigo version of GMF Tooling (2.4.x instead of 3.x, I believe). This means that, currently, diagrams need to be generated from Indigo, and compiled from Juno.

We will migrate our templates for Kepler (And maybe for Juno SR1 too), which should make things easier.

Regards,
Camille

Hi Camille,

Regarding the diagram creation, which version of Papyrus should I use with Eclipse Indigo in order for this to work? We have tried it with Papyrus 0.8.2, but the "Generate Papyrus Diagram" button doesn't appear in the menu.

Does Papyrus version 0.9.1 with Juno support the diagram generation process?

Regards,

Hello Alexandra,

I think the Papyrus diagram generation tools cannot be installed. You have to checkout the sources manually from the SVN repository, then run a Runtime instance of Eclipse.

All Papyrus versions should now support this feature (The templates have been fixed on Juno).

Camille

Thank you Camille for your prompt answer, I really appreciate it, this will help a lot.

And thanks to the Papyrus team for having fixed the issues in Juno, it's much better to be able to use the latest versions for such a task.
