Summary

This article describes how to get started with the UML2 plug-ins for Eclipse. In particular, it gives an overview of how to create models (and their contents) both programmatically and by using the sample UML editor.

Prerequisites

To start using UML2 (and to follow along with the example in this article), you must have Eclipse, EMF, and UML2 installed. You can

either download the Modeling Tools Package or follow these steps: 1Download and run Eclipse.

2Select the Help > Install New Software… menu item.

3Select a software site to work with, e.g., Luna -

/releases/luna.

4Expand the Modeling tree item.

5Select UML2 Extender SDK and press the Next > button.

6Review the install details and press the Next > button.

7Accept the terms of the license agreement and press the Finish button.

8Restart Eclipse when prompted to do so.

At this stage, UML2 and all dependencies should be installed. Introduction

This article will walk you through the basics of creating models using UML2. Using a simple model (the ExtendedPO2 model, shamelessly “borrowed” from the EMF “bible” [1]) as an example, we’ll look

at what’s involved in creating some of the more common elements that make up a model. For each type of element, we’ll first explain the creation process using the sample UML editor and then explore how to accomplish the same thing using Java code. The ExtendedPO2 model is shown below.

Getting Started

Readers who don't want to follow every step of this tutorial

may install a working solution from the New → Example... wizard, selecting the UML2 Example Projects → Getting Started with UML2 sample. This will be available when Enhancement 382342 is resolved and released in a UML2 build. This includes the finished model, complete source code, and a launch configuration that runs the stand-alone Java application which creates the model in the root folder of the example project.
