The opening/creation of diagrams with Java code is a recurring topic in the Sirius forum: - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1102818/ - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1102698/ - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1815630/ - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1093940/ - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1074382/ - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/633830/ However there's still no clear documentation / step-by-step guide on how to do it properly. This is upsetting because: - users may have to fumble around trying to find the right classes/methods to use, - when facing issues it is hard to tell whether it's caused by a bug in Sirius or merely by a wrong usage of the API, - even if the code seems to work it's hard to tell whether it has been done properly, - it may cost a lot of time to figure out how to merely create a representation for a given model. As a matter of fact, I recently had to deal with strange issues and had to tinker with the code to make it work. I still don't know if I encountered bugs or badly used the API: - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1100864&goto=1822134&#msg_1822134 - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1102818&goto=1822734&#msg_1822734 Hence, I believe that enhancing the existing Developer Manuel or providing new tutorials on the subject could benefit to a lot of Sirius users.
Hi Emmanuel, Thanks for the enhancement proposal. It is very interesting but has not been added to the scope of a future release yet. Regards
