Description Maxime Porhel CLA 2014-10-17 09:24:39 EDT 
In Bug 435879, the menu to create mappings and tool section as direct children of a DiagramDescription have been removed to avoid the creation by a specifier of a no more supported structure. 

We should either use these feature when looking for available tools or hide its property section in the VSM editor.

If we choose to hide it, then we should remove it from the metamodel (Bug 427247)
Comment 1 Maxime Porhel CLA 2014-10-17 09:26:36 EDT 
The current way to reuse tools is to create a ToolSection and use ToolSection.reusedTools to reference the tools to reuse.

It's not the same problem as https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=435879, 
The problem come from the field named "Reused Tools" in the layer. This field does not work, it's necessary to do a section tool and use the field "Reused Tools.

The link posted above is wrong.
It's not the same problem as bug 436069
Comment 5 Maxime Porhel CLA 2016-09-19 09:17:09 EDT 
Bug 435879 was about unsupported diagram structure, ie. mapping as direct children of the diagram or "without layer mode". We have here the same issue but with unsupported structure of the palette: we can create tools as direct children of a ToolSection so we must not propose to reuse a tool from a Layer. 

We should remove this feature or change it's type to reuse a complete ToolSection but I am not sur this would be a good idea. 


Bug 436069 is about cleaning the metamodel to finalize the removal of the "wihtoutLayerMode".

Regarding the chosen solution for the current issue, we will have to be consistent  with the behavior/solutions of bith related issues 435879 and 436069.
