Re: [mdt-uml2.dev] UML 2.5 progress

[Kenn Hussey <kenn.hussey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the legwork, Ed. This will be instrumental as we look to adopt UML 2.5 at Eclipse, hopefully in the Luna release timeframe.

Unfortunately, I don't think the disproportionately small number of UML2 users in our situation (i.e., those working on future versions of the specification) justifies investing in a new mechanism for mapping OMG URIs from the future to UML2 URIs from the present. :(

Have you tried registering URI mappings in the URI converter map?

Cheers,

Kenn

Is there no way we can support a user-defined mapping from e.g. http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20131001/PrimitiveTypes to PrimitiveTypes.uml? With the UML metamodel and serialization increasingly stable, use of Eclipse tooling for UML version N to support N+1 may become increasingly practical and useful.
