Enhancement of the support for the stereotypes in Papyrus

This page presents the improvments that will be pushed in the Mars version of Papyrus regarding the stereotypes support in the tool.

  1. Introduction

The starting point of this study is due to concomitant issues around the stereotype display:

  • The first whished improvement is to display the stereotypes when dragged and dropped from the model explorer.
  • The second whish would be to use the Named Styles instead of EAnnotation in order to be aligned with the Papyrus point of view and be based on GMF layer.
  • The third point is the user interface to display the Stereotype that doesn’t fulfil the user expectation in terms of intuitiveness.
  1. State of art

The Stereotype feature contains two types of display, which are more or less independent.

  • The stereotype name label
    • Can be displayed or hidden
    • With a short name or a Qualified Name
  • The stereotype properties
    • Can be displayed or hidden
    • Can be shown in a compartment, as a comment or in braces

On top of that, there are several actions taking part in the stereotype display:

  • When displaying or hiding an item (stereotype Label or property label) from the appearance property view.
  • When a new stereotype is applied or unapplied from the profile tab into the property view.

Those different cases should be part of the solution. But as there are quite independent, they can be treated as such.

  1. Conception

In Papyrus, Stereotypes are stored into UML model. But the information related to manner to display stereotypes is stored through the EAnnotation. EAnnotation is an EMF concept that is attached to an object of type EModelElement. The EAnnotation details is a Map of type EMap<String,String>. In the case of “Stereotype”, the EAnnotation name is “Stereotype_Annotation”, the related map contains the following list of properties and values:

KEY (String) VALUE (String) Description
Stereotype_Presentation_Kind TextIconStereotype The kind of presentation for stereotype
StereotypeList
StereotypeWithQualifiedNameList
PropStereoDisplay
StereotypePropertyLocation
