Hello Chriss,
The UML file contains all the semantic information of your model.
The Notation file contains the diagrams.
The DI file contains information about the available editors (e.g. diagrams, tables, ...), and their layout.
So, in your case, you only need to edit the *.uml file, then reverse it to generate the changes in your *.notation file.
If the diagram already exists, you don't have to edit the *.di file.
Regards,
Camille

Hi, Chriss,
Rather than use JDOM, you really should be using the Eclipse UML API to
modify the contents of a UML model. It will be difficult, in general,
to ensure the correct structure of a UML model using JDOM.
Using the UML API, it is as easy as asking a Class to
createOwnedAttribute(...) and createOwnedOperation(...) . The diagram
should automatically present the new attribute and operation of each
class, so you shouldn't have to modify the *.notation file.
HTH,
Christian

Actually, in Papyrus, the diagrams only display a subset of the model. If you create a new Operation/Property in the semantic model (i.e. using Class#createOwnedAttribute), they won't appear in the diagram, until you explicitly add them.
> ii- Please clarify this sentence:

The *.di file contains links to all existing "pages", i.e. nested editor. If you create a new diagram, it needs to be known by the *.di model. But if you modify an already-existing diagram, you won't have anything to do in the *.di model.

Camille

No, sorry, this was a misunderstanding on my part, corrected by
Camille. I had thought that the attribute and operation compartments
in Papyrus class diagrams use a "canonical edit policy" as in Ecore
Tools diagrams. That's not the case. So, the Eclipse UML API helps to
construct structurally sound models (which is considerably more
complicated than you might expect) and Papyrus/GMF provides the API
required to update the notation model (diagrams) to visualize new
elements that you add to the UML content.

The Eclipse UML API provides complete coverage of the entire UML
metamodel, including working with profiles and stereotypes. The
"getting started" articles on the Wiki should help:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2#Articles

The Eclipse UML2 SDK is available for installation from the Eclipse
simultaneous release update site along with most other Eclipse modeling
projects. If you need it for non-Eclipse deployment, you can download
the latest releases here:
