I tried those things - no luck. I'm pretty sure it's because my message is between two lifelines. Looking at the OMG spec it looks like messages need to go between actions.

But you can see from my other post that just drawing an action throws exceptions.

Hi Saurav,

There is a tutorial with detailed explanations here : 
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/uml2/docs/tutorials/EclipseCon2008_Tutorial_Creating_Robust_Scalable_DSL_with_UML_files/frame.html
There are also step by step guidelines.
See: http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT-UML2

Although I've never used UML2Tools for extending UML metamodel, it should 
work.

Cheers,
- James.

Although I suspect this is a question specific to UML2 Tools, did you try:
- Select the message, then start typing.
- Select the message, then from the toolbar, select "All Connector Labels" 
or "No Connector Labels" to hide or show all labels associated with 
connectors.

Regards,

[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] ActionExecutionSpecification no supported?

bfrazer@xxxxxxx (Bruce Frazer) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:48:01 GMT

When I try to draw a sequence diagram in Eclipse, and put an ActionExecution on a lifeline, I invariably get a message / exception claiming ActionExecutionSpecification not supported?

Is there any way around this? Is it possible to make a sequence diagram in eclipse?

Log below.

Thanks,
Bruce

Saurav,

It's best to ask about UML on the UML newsgroup, which I've added to the "to" list of the reply. It sounds like you might be best off mapping your instances to be UML2 instance and just use UML directly...

This must be a silly question, but after I draw in a "message" between two "lifelines", how to I change the visible text over the message arrow?

I tried changing the "name" property of the message, but it does not display.

My message arrows all have text more or less like: 1: *

Hello Mary , i have the same Problem that yo had with the creation of the message in an interaction . how to create a MessageOccurrenceSpecification when you create a message ? should I add an element MessageOccurrenceSpecification to the GMFmap ? and it's the case it will be a node or a link ? i hope you will guive the answer for all those question ;) thanks a lot .
