| Re: [papyrus-ic] Notes from a Papyrus training workshop |

Hello Dimitris,
- One of the attendees asked if/how UML model elements in Papyrus can be linked to elements from domain-specific (EMF) models (also had to take this offline) We built a generic (i.e. Papyrus-neutral) Proof-of-Concept as part of the openETCS project. This could be a starting point for anybody who wants to take this further:

One question was whether one can switch between the simplified/full UI at runtime (i.e. to "break-out" of the simplified UI when needed). - There was a question about who are the main contributors to the development of Papyrus - Another question was whether Papyrus supports any import interfaces from other tools? (Developing such "import" facilities is an unrewarding task for researchers so we may want to pool resources here) - They liked the idea of being able to split models across multiple projects/files as many of them are struggling with large monolithic models stored in proprietary tool-specific repositories - They also liked the idea of being able to use Git to version control models - especially after I demonstrated EMFCompare. They didn't seem to be too bothered that there's no built-in support for "live" collaboration (I was prepared to talk to them about the Papyrus-CDO integration but I saw little demand for a model repository) - There was a question about if/how Papyrus can interface to Simulink (I had to take this one offline as I have no idea) - One of the attendees asked if/how UML model elements in Papyrus can be linked to elements from domain-specific (EMF) models (also had to take this offline) - There was a question about model execution capabilities to which I responded by pointing the person that asked towards Moka - All in all, there was overwhelming support for continuing to evaluate Papyrus and we'll run a second Q&A workshop after Christmas Thanks, Dimitris [1] https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus_for_Information_Modeling/Customization_Guide
