defaultValue of an EnumerationLiteral is discarded [message #633511]

Hello all,

I have a problem reading Enumeration information in an XMI file exported by an UML conform tool.
The XMI extract looks like this:

<nestedClassifier xmi:type="uml:Enumeration" name="testNestedEnum" xmi:id="BOUML_0x2ca17_4" visibility="package">
    <ownedLiteral xmi:type="uml:EnumerationLiteral" name="enumElm1" xmi:id="BOUML_0x29197_1">
        <defaultValue xmi:type="uml:LiteralString" xmi:id="BOUML_VALUE_0x29197_1" value="0x55"/>
        <ownedComment xmi:type="uml:Comment" xmi:id="COMMENT_2" body="55"/>
    </ownedLiteral>
</nestedClassifier>

Eclipse only considers the ownedComment and not the defaultValue. defaultValue is discarded. I want to model something like this:

typedef enum {
    enumElm1 = 0x55,
    enumElm2 = 0xAA,
} testNestedEnum;

My original XMI header looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:uml="http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1" xmlns:xmi="http://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1">
...

And I change it to this, to make it readable for UMLResource:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="http://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:Ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/schemas/Ecore/5" xmlns:uml="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/schemas/Ecore/5 pathmap://UML_PROFILES/Ecore.profile.uml#_z1OFcHjqEdy8S4Cr8Rc_NA">
...

But I don't know if the latter is quite smart. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Tom

I couldn't find a defaultValue property for EnumerationLiteral neither in the UML2 API or the UML spec.

Maybe that is a deviation from the spec in the tool you are using to export? What is the tool btw?

Hey Rafael,

yeah ok, you're right, maybe it would have been a good idea to query the spec Smile

And yes, it looks like, as if it is a deviation from the spec, although I thought that this tool (BOUML) is very strict regarding complying UML spec Smile

Well maybe I get on with a LiteralString as a Specification...

Thanks and bye
Tom

It is not fair to critic this Bouml tool because it is just one developer working on full time basis who has never received any help.
All users donations have been less than $ 2,000 in the last two years.

Life is not easy for java developers trying to make their living from their job. If you want to help you either contribute by code or donate financial support but you should certainly not post xmi code and then crash him in public !!

Hi all,

thank you Vlad Varnica, but is it ok, I don't see a problem in these messages, just the indication of a bug in the XMI generator ... this is not the first bug Wink

Be sure I saw worst in Wikipedia and this is why I decided to stop to develop Bouml !

Tom Brandenburg you have two ways :

you can use the sourceforge trackers of Bouml ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=212600&atid=102 2383 ) to signal the bug then wait for a fixing, but you will probably never have it
you correct the code generation by yourself, and may be distribute the new plug-out version or indicate what you changed

Best regards

Vlad,

It's ironic you should be so sensitive while making a habit of dissing
and crashing the hard work that happens at Eclipse.

Ed,

It is now an old story but friends of our enemies are also our enemies and could not expect any help from us !!
Good luck in your project but to be honest not really Rolling Eyes

Hello All,

at first I would like to say thanks to you, Bruno Pagès, for your kind answer.
Of course I know that Bouml is only developed by one guy and I am still swept off my feet of what a great tool has been produced. What I've said wasn't ment as a critic. I just didn't want to check the specs because I somehow trusted BOUML and still do it. I was just brought back down to earth and realised that nobody is perfect. (And I think that BOUML is nearly perfect) So what, even your software has bugs!
So thanks, Bruno Pagès for your great work! I try to follow one of your suggested ways.

Bye Tom

Omondo's website claims Omondo is an Eclipse partner. In fact, to quote
from http://www.ejb3.org/partners.html

/Omondo partners with Eclipse, OMG and IBM in order to supply the
full Jee modeling cycle software solutions your business needs. /
/Omondo is currently a permanent member of the following
organizations: /

Oddly enough, Eclipse is in that list, yet we both know that Omondo is
in fact not an Eclipse member and hasn't been for years. I wonder then,
if Eclipse is your enemy or your partner? One normally helps partners.

> Good luck in your project but to be honest not really :roll:
With your usual ironic twist, you say something, and then you
immediately contradict it, leaving behind a meaningless void of
nonsense. It's yet another repeat act in your Modeling Comedy Festival;
it's always good to start your day with a chuckle.

Ed,

Thanks for your comment because we didn't notice this mistake in our website. Omondo is not anymore an Eclipse member of the Eclipse foundation.
We will not join this foundation anymore but will certainly sponsor a new Eclipse community outside this foundation if any new organization is created.

Vlad,

Vlad,

Now that you've noticed your mistake, do you have any plans to fix it?
My guess would be you don't have such plans because you continue to see
value in claiming to be a member.

Please refresh your browser Laughing

btw, what is really important is that we need a new initiative based on quality and profitable market and not just based on open source push of unstable projects which then requires hidden consulting additional costs !!

Only integrators and consulting companies can monetize their Eclipse investments today.
This is a non sense and certainly not a win / win strategy for ISV targeting the eclipse plugin market.
Except the embedded market which only uses Eclipse for packaging purposes the java plugin market is dead today.
