Papyrus/Papyrus Developer Guide/Papyrus Plugin Naming Scheme

This page explains:

  • how Papyrus plugins are named and located.
  • the structure of the trunk and branches

All papyrus plugin should start with the same prefix:

                  org.eclipse.papyrus

Naming Scheme

So you want to propose a new plugin. You need to give it a name.

All papyrus plugins should start with the same prefix:

            org.eclipse.papyrus

But this is not enough. The next step is to decide where your plugin should be located:

  1. Read carrefully the next paragraph, and decide in which folder/subfolder your plugin will be located
  2. Use the proposed prefix (ex: org.eclipse.papyrus.example. )
  3. If you want to contribute a set of plugins, give them a namespace name to identify all of them
  4. Try to give a self explanatory name.

Folders Structure

The trunk and the branches have the same structure. Here we will only describe the trunk structure.

The trunk contains the following folders:

  • plugins - contains all plugins included in the Papyrus distribution: core, main uml diagras, sysml
  • tests - contains tests plugin. The internal structure is the same as plugins, but here we have tests.
  • extraplugins - contains plugins that can be added to Papyrus in order to bring some extra functionalities: java reverse, autolayout, marte, ...
  • incoming - this is a special folder used by Papyrus developper to propose new plugins (see Papyrus_New_Plugin_Submition_Process)
  • examples - contains some example of plugins, for user and developper.

These folders can also contains subfolders.

plugins

This folder contains sub folders. All plugins in the sub folders form the main Papyrus distribution.

tests

This folders contains subfolders, each one dedicated to a kind of test:

  • junit
  • recipes
  • swbot

Each subfolder mimic the same structure as the trunk. The names of the plugins are usually the same name as the tested plugin, suffixed with the type of test.
