Creating a Profile Definition

Profile definition can be created by the following procedure:

• Using UMLEditor of Eclipse

Add Profile

1. Add a User Defined Profile

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

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

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. 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.

2. Add a Stereotype to the EasyProfile

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

3. Delete the Stereotype from the EasyProfile

   • Select the Stereotype and click button.

   • If there are Model Elements to which the Stereotype to be deleted applies in the project, you cannot undo the deletion of the Stereotype.

   

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.

   

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 with a duplicate name or URI cannot be added.

• A profile that deviates from the CMOF 2.5 specification cannot be added.

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

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

• The nested profile is not supported.

• Profile update is not supported. If you modify the profile definition, delete it and add it again.

  Note that the Stereotype and Tagged Value information will be lost when deleting.
