[henshin-dev] Using predefined UML primitive types in Henshin

[Vlad Acretoaie <rvac@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I would like to add an attribute of type String (that is, the UML predefined PrimitiveTypes::String) to a UML Class.

 

To do this, I have imported the “http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/4.0.0/Types” package from the registry. However, when I try to add a Node to my Henshin diagram and select its type as String, the node is not added. When I click OK on the “Choose Node Type and Action” dialog I see no change in the Henshin diagram or in the Henshin tree representation, even though the dialog allows me to select String as the node’s type.

 

As a workaround, I could add a node of type PrimitiveType and set its name property to “String”, but I am curious if I can use the actual String type in UML and not define my own.

 

Thanks again,

Vlad
