Creating a Profile Definition

Profile definition can be created by the following procedure:

• Using UMLEditor of Eclipse

Import Profile

1. Import a User Defined Profile

1. Open the [Profile Stereotype] tab in the Property View of the project.

1. Press the [Import] button and select the definition file in the profile selection dialog to open the [Profile] tab.

• If a profile with the same URI as an already registered profile is imported, it will be overwritten.

• In this case, stereotypes and tagged values already applied to the model will be maintained as long as they do not conflict with the definition.

2. Add the EasyProfile

• When you create a original Stereotype for the first time, the EasyProfile is created.

• When you create original Stereotypes in the project, they are added to the EasyProfile.

1. Open [Profile Stereotype] tab in the project that the EasyProfile is not yet applied.

2. Press button to open the [Edit Stereotype Definition] dialog.

3. Enter the Stereotype name in the [Stereotype] field and press [OK]. A Stereotype and the EasyProfile are created.

Edit Profile

The following editing is supported. Select the profile to be edited in the [Selection Target] field.

1. Rename the Stereotype

   • Click the name of the target stereotype and edit the cell contents.

2. Set an Customized Icon for the Stereotype

   • Double-click the target stereotype to open the edit dialog.

   • Press the “Add” button and select the extension icon to add it.

   • Please refer to Basic Functions - Editing Diagrams - Customized Icons.

   Note

   You can also set up multiple extension icons.

3. Add a Stereotype to the EasyProfile

   • You can add a Stereotype to the EasyProfile using the same procedure as Add the EasyProfile.

4. Delete the Stereotype from the EasyProfile

   • Select the Stereotype and click button.

   

Delete Profile

• The Profile selected in the [Profile Selection] list can be deleted by [Delete] button.

How to use the Profile

• Create a Model Element and apply a Stereotype in the Profile.

  

1. If you apply a Stereotype with Tagged Values defined, Tagged Values will be applied to the Model Element.

   • You can check and edit them from the [Tagged Values] tab.

   • Tagged Values can be shown on diagrams with context menu of elements.

   

2. If you apply a Stereotype with a Customized Icon defined, you can switch the notation of the Diagram Element to the Customized Icon notation.

   • Please refer to Basic Functions - Editing Diagrams - Customized Icons.

• A profile that deviates from the UML 2.5/CMOF 2.5 specification cannot be imported.

• A profile that refers to anything other than a resource cannot be imported except for UML meta model.

• A profile which has the duplicate member names in the namespace cannot be imported.
