State machine metamodel [message #1262676]

Dear All,

Is there a way to see the (meta-) metamodel of the State machine diagram, implemented in Papyrus?

I am interested in the modeling part, especially in the relations and generalizations of its elements (state, transition, compound state, etc.). I am aware of the UML specifications regarding this part, but I am interested especially in the Papyrus implementation.

Is there a way, that I can see it graphically, as if I would create a new (Ecore) model in EMF? That 'implements' the State machine diagram, specificied in the UML standards.

I hope you get what I am looking for.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
John

Doesn't Papyrus use Eclipse UML2? If so, this should help:

Dear Rafael,

Thank you for the answer. Is there any graphical representation of it? I mean a metamodel created in EMF.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
John

Hi John,

The Ecore metamodel of UML is available in the Eclipse UML2 plug-in:

org.eclipse.uml2.uml/model/UML.ecore

Camille

Dear Camille,

Could you give me a little help, please?

I do not find this folder within the plugins folder in my Eclipse. However, I have already installed the Papyrus (Incubation) plugin in my Eclipse with EMF, and on the 'Plug-ins' tab in 'Eclipse Installation Details' the 'org.eclipse.uml2.uml' plugin can be found with its authentication information as well.

Could you tell me, where can I find that folder in the installation folder of the Eclipse?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,
John

Hi,

The plug-in is org.eclipse.uml2.uml, and it contains the model/UML.ecore file

As plug-ins are distributed as Jar archives, you can either:

- Unzip "org.eclipse.uml2.uml.jar" directly from your Eclipse installation folder (Not recommended)
- Import it as a project in Eclipse (Import > Plug-ins and fragments > Import from Active Target Platform > Select org.eclipse.uml2.uml)
- Fetch the sources code from the UML2 git repository: git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/uml2/org.eclipse.uml2.git

Note that the installed org.eclipse.uml2.uml plug-in contains the UML 2.4 metamodel (Current release), whereas the master branch on the Git repository contains the UML 2.5 metamodel (Incoming Luna release, in June 2014)

Regards,
Camille
