Gerrit Links:
- Gerrit 439894, 435474, 412676, 440842: reordering and general refactoring of the entire wizard
- Gerrit 435501:
- changed the order of the wizard pages - made the new model name retain '.profile' if based on existing semantic model - Changed the SelectDiagramCatagoryPage message to show 'model' rather than 'diagram' (since it is the model type that is selected) - removed the warning message shown when the model type didn't match the extension (since the extension is set automatically) - improved trimming of extensionPrefixes as suggested in comment
- added a default root naming when creating a new profile from an existing model of the workspace - disabled the selectRootElementPage - fix the NPEs resulting from the disabled page
- disabled the Next and Finish buttons if a model with the same name already extists in the workspace - disabled the Next and Finish buttons if a project with the same name already extists in the workspace - added a message signaling why those buttons were disabled - added an error message if the user is unable to create and open the new papyrus model
- modified the validation of the NewModelFilePage to prevent users to create a model outside a proper container
- the names of the model and its rootElement are now initialized from the model's container - rebased this onto Bug 471328 (dependent of this change)
- added a deselect mechanism to the template comboVIewer
- added new icons for the new Model/Project wizard - separated the core uml options from the dsml ones - added a sort mechanism for them - the wizard now properly recalls previous language selections - sets the default language selection to UML if none were previously selected - modified the way the DiagramKindPage composite's sizes are computed - added a new Profile selection composite allowing the user to select registered composites - modified the Messages of the NewModelFilePage - the names of the languages are now sorted through a secondary strength collator - the UML language is now the first on the UML core group - modified the CreateModelWizard to avoid cast exceptions when applying a profile to a newly created one
Results
Here are a few, non exhaustive, screenshots to illustrate the changes through a profile creation example:
