xmi:id get lost when saving Resource [message #956237]

Hello everyone,

I am using the EMF project http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/henshin/.
Currently I am using Henshin to do a model transformation on a UML model.

The transformed model is contained in an EGraph and saved like this:
options.put(XMIResource.OPTION_SCHEMA_LOCATION,
Boolean.TRUE); Resource resource2 =
resourceSet.createResource(URI.createFileURI("seclinks_corrected.uml"));
resource2.getContents().addAll(graph.getRoots());
try {
resource2.save(options);}

where
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl
is used as ResourceImplementation.
What I miss in the saved model are all xmi:id-attributes.

I already had a look at further options in XMIResource but didn't find
an matching options.

I already asked the EMF-people and Ed Merks suggested:
"So you need to be sure to register the necessary UML2 things. They
have some UMLUtil thingy that you can use to initialize a resource set.
Ask questions about UML2 on eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2"

So here I am :)

Thanks in advance,
Jens

Hi

You seem to have omitted your question, except from the title.

Perhaps you are encountering the lack of xmi:id stability in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=313951.

My question is: what code am I lacking or what am I doing wrong so that
the xmi:id's get lost? :)

I don't think so. In my case, the saved Resource is completely missing
xmi:id's.

Thanks in advance,
Jens

Ed,

It seems likely that he's not registered the UML resource factories
correctly. There's some UML utility that does that for stand alone
applications, right?

Hi

Yes. It seems like a Resource without the useUIds is in use.

Using UMLResourcesUtil.init() is to all intents and purposes mandatory
to get UML registrations correct in a standalone context.

OK,

If I understand the Javadoc
<http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/javadoc/4.0.0/org/eclipse/uml2/uml/resources/util/UMLResourcesUtil.html>
right, I need an updated version of my Eclipse's UML2-plugin, because I
have the original one which shipped with Eclipse PDT Indigo.

So I installed the latest version of UML2 SDK (4.0.1).
In the the feature org.eclipse.uml2 is correctly didsplayed, but after
clicking on "Plug-in Details" the window "Plug-ins contributed by
feature: org.eclipse.uml2" every plug-in displayed is from the outdated
version with build dates from 2011 or 2010.

Did I overlook something?

Thanks in advance,

Jens

Hi

2011 dates seem very unlikely. Did you restart after the installation?

Yes I did.

I even did something more:

I downloaded eclipse-modeling-indigo-SR2-win32 (instead of the 64-bit
version I currently use) and installed version 4.0.0 of the plugin. the
effect is that *some* of the packages are recognized, but when trying to
create a new plugin-project, the only plugins I can select are
org.eclipse.uml2
org.eclipse.uml2.examples
org.eclipse.uml2.types.source
org.eclipse.uml2.profile.l2.source
org.eclipse.uml2.profile.l3.source

So I am slightly confused now, that even in a "clean install" the
UML2-plugin isn't recognized...

Hi

Well I'm confused too. Why would you expect installing an Indigo package
after installing a Juno package would be good?

I hadn't realised you were not using Juno. Pre-Juno the UML 2.4
complexities do not apply so you may find
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/UML2/FAQ#What.27s_required_to_load_a_UML_.28.uml.29_resource_from_a_standalone_application.3F
helpful.

I'm sorry - there wasn't any hint for me that the newer packages require
Juno :)

This is helpful and does solve my problem, thanks!

Currently, driven by some reasons, im considering changing my
application from standalone to Eclipse plug-in. That would make some
things easier, right?

Where can I get information how to load the model inside an
Eclipse-environment?

Thanks in advance,

Jens

It just works. I really don't understand the question. Perhaps you just
need to follow some basic EMF tutorials.
