Hi,

I'm currently generating properties pages from a UML2 profile,
I'm wondering what is the difference between the two available layouts shown in the wizard : 'Standard layout generator' and 'UML Profile with DataTypes'.

I'll tend to use the second one as my profile defined a single stereotype associated to a datatype containing three properties but the result is not really what I expected (I get an empty group named with my datatype name). On the contrary, using the first one does the trick: as a result, I have a ReferenceDialog allowing to select a DataType.

So, my question is: what is supposed to do the 'UML Profile with DataTypes' layout compared to the Standard one ?

Thanks,

Hi Sébastien,

The Layout with Datatypes is actually a relic of the former definition mechanism of Papyrus, which is now deprecated and should be removed.
