How to use a Papyrus UML profile as a DSL in Sirius? [message #1226379]

Hello everyone,

I've been using Papyrus for several years to develop graphical DSLs through UML profiles. I ran across Sirius some weeks ago and it looks very promising. I've read most of the documentation and watched the tutorial, but I haven't found how can I use a UML profile defined with Papyrus in Sirius. Does it need to be imported somehow as a domain model?

Thank you.

Hi Luis,

You just need to define in your representation description, in the Metamodels tab, the UML metamodel URI thanks to the 'from registry' button.

We are developing an UML modeler based on Sirius. You can have a look at the UML Designer source code which is available on github under EPL license:
https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Modeling/tree/4.0.0_M1

In the uml2.odesign :
https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Modeling/blob/4.0.0_M1/plugins/org.obeonetwork.dsl.uml2.design/description/uml2.odesign

Line 5, you will find the metamodel declaration :
<metamodel href="platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.uml2.uml/model/UML.ecore#/"/>

We also define org.eclipse.uml2.uml as a require bundle in the MANIFEST.MF :
https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/UML-Modeling/blob/4.0.0_M1/plugins/org.obeonetwork.dsl.uml2.design/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

The UML Designer 4.0.0 M1 version is a pre-release version which works with Sirius 1.0.0 M4. The final 4.0.0 version will be available when Sirius 1.0.0 will be released with the Luna release train. UML Designer bundles and update-site are available : http://www.obeo.fr/download/release/uml/4.0.0_M1/

Regads,
Mélanie

Hi Mélanie, thanks for answering. I can't find a Metamodels tab, neither with the Sirius perspective nor with the Modelling perspective. Could you post a screen capture?

Thanks.
