Code Generation Support

Existing Code Generation Facilities

Currently, Papyrus supports code generation for the following programming languages:

• Java code generation

• C++ code generation

Adding a New Code Generator

Apart from the aforementioned programming language, it is also possible to develop and integrate other code generators to Papyrus. To learn about how to add a new code generator to Papyrus, refer to the following wikipage.

Property View

Multiplicity Editor

Description

The multiplicity editor contains two modes of edition:

• The simple mode which allows to edit the lower and the upper values from a unique editor
• The advanced mode which allows to edit the lower and the upper values from two editors of ValueSpecification.

Usage

Simple mode

The simple mode is represented as the following:

This editor must be filled by the following pattern:

Value filled	Lower value	Upper value
1	null (default value is 1)	null (default value is 1)
x..y	LiteralInteger with value x	LiteralUnlimitedNatural with value y
x..*	LiteralInteger with value x	LiteralUnlimitedNatural with value -1 (interpreted as *)
x	LiteralInteger with value x	LiteralUnlimitedNatural with value x

The values set as lower and upper are always positive (except the * for the upper which is valued as -1).

This editor is usable only when the lower ValueSpecification is a LiteralInteger or null and when the upper ValueSpecification is a LiteralUnlimitedNatural or null. On the other hand, this editor will be displayed like the following:

Advanced mode

Simple ValueSpecification editor

The advanced mode with simple ValueSpecificatiton editors is represented as the following:

The lower and the upper ValueSpecification can be created/edited/deleted by the buttons:

XText ValueSpecification editor

The advanced mode with XText ValueSpecification editors is represented as the following:

This editor use the XText ValueSpecification editors (explain here) with some specificities depending on lower or upper value edition.

The specificity of the lower ValueSpecification edition is when the value filled is an integer, this one will be handled as LiteralInteger instead of LiteralUnlimitedNatural or LiteralInteger (the * value will create an OpaqueExpression).

The specificity of the upper ValueSpecification edition is when the value filled is an integer or *:

• if the integer is positive or -1, a LiteralUnlimitedNatural will be created
• if the integer is negative, an OpaqueExpression will be created instead of LiteralInteger

Switch modes

This is possible to switch between the two modes by two ways:

• The button in the multiplicity editor:

• The multiplicity editor preferences in the property views preferences:

Regarless of the way used to switch modes, the mode used is saved in the preferences and will be used for each multiplicity in Papyrus.

Papyrus for Requirements

Papyrus for Requirements helps you to specify and analyze requirements in the context of systems modeling. It aims to cover the Specification, Management, Analysis and Validation-Verification activities of Requirements Engineering. Papyrus for Requirements depends on the components Papyrus for SysML and Papyrus for Metrics.
