Hi,
I would like to know how I can create more than one model in repository. I couldn’t find it.

My MyEclipse version is 5.1.0 GA .

Thx
David

David,
Up in the toolbar you will see buttons for the different types of diagrams you can create (Class, State, Activity, etc.). When you click those, models are created in your UMR for you. You can see them using the outline view.

Hello Riyad,
I’m sorry I was not precise. I am going to reformulate my question.

DESCRIPTION:

1. When I create a new UML Model Repository, then I have to fill two edit boxes (1) ‘UML Model Repository’ and (2) ‘UML Root Model Name’ (set to default). Then I press finish and the repository is created.
2. I open the UML repository. The MyEclipse UML Perspective is opened. The outline contains in the combo box ‘Diagram-centric’ and the tree view contains the tree and the root has the name of ‘UML Root Model Name’.
3. If the root of the tree is selected, then all the toolbar buttons for diagram creation are disabled e.g. ‘Create class diagram’.
4. If the tree selection is something else then root, then all the toolbar buttons for diagram creation are enabled and I can create new diagrams.

QUESTIONS & REMARKS:

1. I have understood the ‘UML Root Model Name’ as en entity ‘model’, which can consist of more ‘diagrams’. And also I have understood that the ‘UML repository’ can contain more ‘models’. So ‘UML Repository’ [n] <-> [1] ‘Model’ [n] <-> [1] Diagram. Can I have more than one ‘model’ in repository?
2. What’s the meaning of ‘UML Root Model Name’ ? I have understood it as a possible hierarchical organization of my ‘UML repository’. Is it correct? If not, then I don’t understand why it is there.
3. No matter what the answers to questions 1 and 2 are. I consider the point 3 in description as bug. Do you agree?

Thanks for answer
David

You can have multiple diagrams in a UMR (repository), but AFAIK, not root nodes (models?)

2. What’s the meaning of ‘UML Root Model Name’ ? I have understood it as a possible hierarchical organization of my ‘UML repository’. Is it correct? If not, then I don’t understand why it is there.

I need to check on this, good question.

3. No matter what the answers to questions 1 and 2 are. I consider the point 3 in description as bug. Do you agree?

Yes, I have filed it as such, thank you for reporting it… definately odd behavior.

Hello,

I am experiencing the same issue with MyEclipse EW 5.1.1 GA. To reiterate, after creating a UMR in a MyEclipse J2EE Web Project, all new diagram buttons are disabled.

Please advise.

Hi Boris,
This issue has been fixed in our latest release – 5.5 GA. Can you download our 5.5.1 GA Full Stack installer and use that instead of 5.1.

[bbrudnoy]

Thank you, Nipun.

I also discovered that in EW 5.1.1 GA the new diagram buttons are disabled when the Outline view is in focus. When one switches the focus to the Diagram Editor window, the buttons become enabled.
