Hello All,

I want to define one UML property of type PrimitiveType::String, I use bellow source code:

var ISt = new Property;
ISt.name = 'oneName';
ISt.type = PrimitiveType::String;

But I encounter with bellow error message:

Undefined variable, type or model: 'PrimitiveType::String'

How I can set the type of my property to String?

Thanks,
Amin Rezaee

If I recall correctly, the predefined types in UML are not part of the UML metamodel itself. Instead, they are bundled in external "library" models, which are accessible using special-purpose URIs, such as pathmap://UML_LIBRARIES/xxx.uml.

I've attached an example project which should help: it adds a new class to an UML model with a String attribute. The launch configuration uses two models: the read-only library model with the predefined types, and the actual model that you want to change.
