Hi!

I want to integrate my EVL constraints into UML2 Tools but there is no
description (EpsilonBook, Cinema, ...) to do this.

Who can help me?

Hi Thorsten,

A detailed tutorial for integrating EVL constraints with GMF editors is
available in
http://epsilonlabs.wiki.sourceforge.net/EVL-GMF+Integration. Ideally,
like in the tutorial, you'd just need to write your constraints and bind
them to with the UML2 namespace uri.

However, it seems that validation is not enabled for the UML2 Tools
(i.e. the Diagram menu doesn't have a Validate item). Let's see if we
can get some help on this over at eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2tools (added)

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris!

Thank you for your fast response.
I can execute the evl file via an EVL Validiation launch configuration
and the messages are shown in the validation view.
It works, but unfortunately there must be a mistake when launching: the
progress information shows an activity 'Loading models' and I think
there is an infinite loop!

Hi Thorsten,

The reason for this is that once constraints have been evaluated, EVL
remains in a live state so that you can also invoke the available quick
fixes. If you don't need to invoke any quick fixes, you can click the
run-like arrow in the validation view and end the execution.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Thorsten,

Glad to hear that! However the UML2 Tools question remains: Is it
possible to somehow enable/invoke validation in the UML2 Tools GMF-based
editors or would one need to regenerate the editors with the right flags on?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi,

I like to use the EVL's live validation to check some constraints on a UML model. I'm using UML Design 6.0 and eclipse Mars. In other words, the validation must be triggered whenever a model is changed by the user. Following is my sample module:

context Class {
	
	guard: self.name.isDefined()
	
	constraint ClassNamesStartWithAnUpperCase{	
	
		check: self.name.firstToUpperCase() = self.name
		
		message: "Each class name should start with an upper case letter!"
		
		fix {
			title: "Change " + self.name + " class name's first letter to an uppercase:"
			do {
				self.name = self.name.firstToUpperCase();
			}
		}
	}
}

I used the tutorial of the following like:
http://www.eclipse.org/epsilon/doc/articles/evl-gmf-integration/
But, the live validation is not working for the UML Designer 6.0 class diagram editor which hosts my model, despite I clicked the Diagram>Validate menu!

Kind regards,
Alireza
