Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Using MARTE in EA

« on: March 15, 2016, 03:14:17 am »

I have been afraid that this is the answer

Unfortunately, I am still not able to make it work completely. I have exported all leaf profile packages from the MARTE import and bundled them into an MDG technology package. However, when I import this MDG technology into another project and try to apply a stereotype from the MARTE profile to a model entity I only see a subset of the MARTE profiles in the selection dialog. Any ideas?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Using MARTE in EA

« on: March 12, 2016, 03:11:34 am »

I am trying to use the MARTE UML profile in EA but I have not succeeded so far.

I have been able to import the official MARTE profile XMI from http://www.omg.org/spec/MARTE/20100801 into EA. It seems to show up correctly although it does, of course, not contain any diagrams. The imported model shows a tree of nested packages and profiles as it is defined by the OMG standard.

At this point I got stuck. If I try to export this model as an EA profile it is simply empty. From the EA documentation I have learned that profiles in EA must not contain nested packages or profiles. So the structure of the imported MARTE model is obviously my first problem.

I have also moved some of the stereotypes and metaclasses to the top-level MARTE package. If I now export this package as a profile I can import it again and do, acutally, see some profile entries. But they do not show the correct name of the stereotypes. If I am not mistaken, EA is showing the next stereotype upwards in the MARTE generalization hierarchy.

Finally, I do not want to put all of the MARTE stereotypes, etc. into a flat package. There are just too many of them. I would like to keep them separated into multiple profiles. The EA documentation is mentioning that it is possible to store multiple profiles inside the same profile package. However, I cannot find any documentation how to correctly create such a setup.

I would appreciate any help on this.
