| − | ===What is UML2?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The UML2 project (an Eclipse Tools sub-project) is an EMF-based implementation of the UML™ 2.x metamodel for the Eclipse platform. The objectives of this project are to provide a useable implementation of the UML metamodel to support the development of modeling tools, a common XMI schema to facilitate interchange of semantic models, test cases as a means of validating the specification, and validation rules as a means of defining and enforcing levels of compliance.

| − | ===Can I generate code from my UML (.uml) model?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The UML2 project provides an Ecore importer that can be used to create Ecore (.ecore) and generator (.genmodel) models from a UML (.uml) model via the EMF project wizard. Once you have an EMF representation of your model, you can, of course, generate code from it using EMF.

| − | ===How will issues with the UML metamodel be escalated to the OMG?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The UML2 UML project lead will be submitting issues to the UML™ 2.x Superstructure and Infrastructure Revision Task Forces (RTFs) based on problems discovered in the UML metamodel. The current list of open RTF issues can be found at http://www.omg.org/issues/uml2-rtf.open.html

| − | ===Is there a way to see a graphical view of my UML (.uml) model?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The UML2 project supports neither notation nor diagram interchange at this time. The project is focused on developing a robust implementation of the abstract UML syntax. It is expected that tools developed using the API will provide support for graphical modeling and diagram interchange (concrete syntax).

| − | ===Is there a mechanism to convert a Rose (.mdl) model to a UML (.uml) model?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is currently no such mechanism, although it is possible to create Ecore (.ecore) and generator (.genmodel) models from a Rose (.mdl) model via the EMF project wizard and then convert those to a UML (.uml) model using the Ecore exporter that is provided (available from the <code>Export Model...</code> context menu item for generator models). Any information not preserved by EMF (such as stereotypes, diagrams, etc.) would, however, be lost.

| − | ===What's required to load a UML (.uml) resource from a standalone application?===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to load a UML (.uml) resource, the package (schema), resource factory, and "pathmaps" for UML need to be registered. On the Eclipse platform, this is done through the org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package, org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser, and org.eclipse.emf.ecore.uri_mapping extension points (see the plug-in manifests for the org.eclipse.uml2.uml and org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources plug-ins). When loading resources externally from Eclipse, your application needs to perform these registrations programmatically as follows (given a variable <code>resourceSet</code> that points to an instance of ResourceSetImpl):
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(UMLPackage.eNS_URI, UMLPackage.eINSTANCE);
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getExtensionToFactoryMap().put(UMLResource.FILE_EXTENSION, UMLResource.Factory.INSTANCE);
| + | |
| − | Map uriMap = resourceSet.getURIConverter().getURIMap();
| + | |
| − | URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:/C:/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.uml2.uml.resources_2.0.0.v200606221411.jar!/");
| + | |
| − | uriMap.put(URI.createURI(UMLResource.LIBRARIES_PATHMAP), uri.appendSegment("libraries").appendSegment(""));
| + | |
| − | uriMap.put(URI.createURI(UMLResource.METAMODELS_PATHMAP), uri.appendSegment("metamodels").appendSegment(""));
| + | |
| − | uriMap.put(URI.createURI(UMLResource.PROFILES_PATHMAP), uri.appendSegment("profiles").appendSegment(""));
