The great Eclipse Papyrus migration, from GMF and XWT to Sirius and EEF
Presented at EclipseCon 2023 in Ludwigsburg, Germany by Vincent Lorenzo (CEA LIST), Pauline Deville (CEA LIST), Quentin Le Menez (CEA LIST) and Patrick Tessier (CEA LIST).
Eclipse Papyrus is an opensource Eclipse based UML modeler for research and industrial uses.
This modeler is currently using GMF based diagrams and associated XWT based property views used to edit the models; and for the last year, Papyrus has been moving to Sirius based diagrams and EEF property Views.
In this talk, we will address the problems linked to the previous framework and how we proceeded to fix them using Sirius diagrams and EEF property Views.
We will present you the current state of the migration and the differences with the previous version.
These new features are developped as a new set of EPL 2.0 plugins installable on top of Papyrus. Attendees can test it (after installing Eclipse Papyrus 2023-06), using this nightly update site (https://ci.eclipse.org/papyrus/job/Papyrus-Sirius/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/repository/) and the first official release is scheduled to be available along the 2023-12 Eclipse release.
If you are a modeler, interested in model-based engineering or a Papyrus enthousiat, this talk is for you!
