Making Stereotype Available To Class

[Carl]

Hi,

I have a Profile Package with 2 Stereotypes extending MetaClass "Class".  What do I need to do to get these Stereotypes to show up in the Class Properties window?  I think I'm misunderstanding the relationship between Perspectives and Profiles.  When I select the Stereotype drop down, I see plenty of Perspectives, Profiles, and Stereotypes, but I don't see my Profile Package.

Thanks,
Carl

You need to import the profile into the Ressources. Or even better you create your own MDG and load that. The stereotype dropdown is just something you should not use since it offers all and nothing. Stereotypes need to belong to a profile but you can't identify it from that dreaded drop down.

Thanks for your help.

I exported it and then imported it from Configure > Resources > UML Profiles.  The Profile Package is listed under UML Profiles.  I still can't select it from any of the Perspectives including None.

I'm attempting to put a Stereotype on a Class.  The Stereotype is an extension of MetaClass / Class.

Try Perspective > Specialized > All Specialized

Hi,

I'm still not able to see the Perspective, Profile, or Stereotype to apply to my Class.  This screenshot shows how I created the Stereotypes.  I created a Profile Package, added a Metaclass, then extended two Stereotypes.  From the Resources section, you can see that I exported this package and import it.



However, I can't find this Stereotype to apply to a Class.  I've looked through the specialized, user, and built-in profiles.  I didn't see mine anywhere.

Thanks again,
Carl

Try Perspective > Specialized > All Specialized

Neil, I find it both amusing and annoying that "All perspectives" DOESN'T include "Specialized perspectives".

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but on my machine all of my own profiles are listed if I select "All perpectives"

I was specifically talking about the New diagram dialog, but as I said, it now seems to be OK.

This is working for me now.  They show up under All Perspectives.

It looks like my stereotypes didn't export correctly.  In the earlier screenshot you don't see an expand arrow with the UML profile.  When I re-exported this morning, the stereotypes "View" and "Component" were listed under VueJSStereotypes.

Happens all time. Wrong export -> nothing works and EA doesn't tell you anything why. Only remedy: re-export everything after some break/sleep.

There was actually an issue with this. Unless I'm mistaken it was fixed in 1513.

In short, all perspectives was defined as a union of all the available perspectives. That meant that if a technology didn't exist in any perspective you wouldn't see it in All. The workaround was to define a perspective using your technology.
