I recently installed Papyrus and attempted to follow the tutorial for creating a model and generating Java code off it.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty much stuck right at the beginning. In the class definition, I added a static operation for main, and I'm able to specify its argument as an array:
in args: <Undefined> [*]
Unfortunately, it does not allow me to specify the type to be String. That is, I would like to specify it as follows:
in args: String [*]
No matter how I enter the type (or any type for that matter), the type reverts back to <Undefined>. I suspect something is wrong or missing with a profile it is supposed to use. Unfortunately, the documentation for this tool is rather sparse, and I cannot find an answer or solution to this.
Anyone has run into this same problem as well???
Have you imported the UML Primitive types package? This should allow you to define the type of the argument to Integer, String or Boolean.
In the model explorer, right click on your model, then choose 'Import package from registered library'
In the window that pops up pick 'UMLPrimitiveTypes' (or the Java ones, if you prefer that).
After this, it should work.
In the latest version of Papyrus, you have to go to model explorer, right click on your model and then choose Import. After that select "Import Registered Package." That will bring up a dialog with a list of registered packages. From that you can select either "UMLPrimitiveTypes" or "JavaPrimitiveTypes"
Papyrus consider that modeling is independent of languages and therefore no java type are usually possible. This is fully logical in a MDA approach but not in the real life :-)
There is an accelero plugin which is supposed to generate code from a diagram but it doesn't work with the latest Helios build so.....
The best is to do you class diagram and then manually code the related code. I am sure that your code will be better than the one you could get from accelero :-)
It's very simple, you can do it by just clicking on the attribute properties, then select type option, In the menu bar select Tree, then Primitive Types.
The String class is not able to see in java primitive types, you need import a package from java core library.
There is a java profile and library/package in Papyrus Software Designer extention.
You may install it via the market place.

I am using Sparx Enterprise Architect and am somehow confused that I did not find any hint on the internet regarding the following question: How can I show the programming language of a component in the component diagram?
It is clear to me that I could use custom stereotypes but this is not a good idea as it prevents me from using "real" stereotypes later on.
The reason is simply that you can not show it using EA's GUI. You would need to stereotype the element and come up with a shape script to display the language with a
print("#language#");
somewhere.
To assign a shape script to a stereotype there are two ways, the quick and dirty and the difficult one. Here's the q&d one:
Under Configure/UML Types you can add a new 'wild' stereotype. That is one with no profile. EA will show that as <none> when applied. Think of a fitting name and choose Edit with the shape script:
Here can enter the new shape script (since this depends very much here's a simple one):
shape main {
Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);
println("#name#");
println("#language#");
}
Save the edit and close the dialog. Once you assign the stereotype to an element it will render like this:
I know this is not pretty and you need to dig into shape scripts to make it useful, but that can't be avoided.
So the difficult, but better and preferred, way is to create your own profile containing the stereotype along with the shape script. The above would just be a way of testing it but finally you would need to create your profile and put it in a MDG. Since this is a quite complex task it won't go here into this answer (no, I'm not Fermat, but you need quite some effort to get that far).
There is no standardized way to show the programming language of a component in UML. There are several ways you can do it, for example:
Stereotype. This will not prevent you from adding other stereotypes in the future. Multiple stereotypes are shown comma separated: «stereotype1, stereotype2»
Generalization. You can define a component called 'JavaComponent' and let all Java components inherit from this base component.
Note. You can attach a note to the component specifying the language.
We are working on plugin for ReSharper and we want to make our plugin extensible. Seems, we should use ShellComponent attribute to do it but we can not find any examples. Could anybody enplane how to define custom extension point and how to manage extension. Example of code of extension point and extension implementation would be very helpful.
Thanks.
If you're looking to write a plugin that can extend ReSharper, you need to tell ReSharper about the classes in your plugin, by marking them with the [ShellComponent] or [SoutionComponent] attributes. These attributes have different lifetimes - a shell component lasts the lifetime of ReSharper itself, and a solution component is created when a solution is opened and disposed when the solution is closed.
To make ReSharper do something useful with your components, they typically have to implement an interface, such as ICodeCompletionItemsProvider, and sometimes have to use a different attribute, such as [CodeCleanupModule] (which itself derives from ShellComponentAttribute). There are many extension points in ReSharper, and the one that's appropriate for you depends on what you're trying to do - refactoring, unit test provider, code cleanup, code completion items, etc. The devguide provides a good introduction to the more common extension points.
But if you want to make your own plugin extensible, then your component needs to work with a kind of provider pattern, by deferring work to multiple provider instances. For example, code cleanup works by deferring to multiple code cleanup modules, each responsible for cleaning up a different aspect of your code (whitespace, ordering, etc). To do this, your component should take in a collection of providers in the constructor. ReSharper's component model will automatically create a collection of these types and pass them to. More specifically, you should have a constructor that takes an IEnumerable<T> or IViewable<T>, where T is the interface of the provider you're going to define and call. The IEnumerable<T> will give you a simple collection of providers, but IViewable<T> represents an observable collection, and allows you to subscribe to notifications of new providers being made available from the component model.
I imported my Java code in Enterprise Architect with the code engineering tool. If I add a class in the class diagram editor (UML) it automatically adds the associations and the generalizations but not the dependencies. Is it possible to setup EA that it also includes the existing dependencies from source code (local variables, parameters etc)?
There is one option you can set which controls this in EA 10: look at Tools -- Options -- Source Code Engineering. The last of the list of check boxes is called "Create dependencies for operation returns and parameter types."
This solves the problem as far as parameters are concerned (you'd have to reimport the code, of course), but I haven't tested it to see how it deals with local variables. I'm guessing it doesn't create dependencies for those.
I'm Using Papyrus UML and I have to use in my diagram, a class which is defined in another .uml file. HowI can do it?
Thank you
You need to create a shortcut but for me this is not usable because I prefer to mix usecase and class diagram elements inside the same model and sometimes even the same diagram.
You can do it with RSA IBM or Omondo EclipseUML.
I do not know particularly about Papyrus, but in UML in general, you should have a Model-element at the top-level, and in there, you create a PackageImport. Now you should be able to set the ``Imported Package'' reference---but the other UML must be loaded from the workspace first:
This is where things become interesting! in the plain Eclipse UML editor, you have to load the resource first using the 'UML Editor' menu or the ``Additional Resources'' sub-tree in the model-outline. I guess Papyrus offers at least the same way through the outline.
Is it possible to modify the order of the intellisense options shown when I hit ctrl-space?
Specifically, I'd like to order them in scope, so that if I have a variable in my function that matches what I've typed so far then it goes to the top of the list. If there's a member in the class, that's next, etc. I'm just kind of sick of having to type enough that I don't match some random global symbol in Windows' crypto libraries or whatever.
Is this kind of this possible? Where do I start? I looked for an obvious option in vs2010, but didn't find anything.
My programming language is native c++.
Here's what I've found so far.
A walkthrough showing how to add items to the intellisense popup: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee372314.aspx
The walkthrough uses the ICompletionSession interface:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.language.intellisense.icompletionsession.aspx
It looks as if you might be able to clear the CompletionSets, and replace them with your own completion sets, but I'm not sure if there's any way to change the order, or if they are always sorted. There is the IIntellisensePresenter interface, but it looks like it's pretty much empty.
Also, from the walkthrough, it looks like you can fill the CompletionSets with a dumb list of strings, so you'd need some other way of interrogating the symbols to determine scope, which may not always be possible.
In short: Probably not possible at the moment.
