[news.eclipse.modeling.gmt] Re: [Epsilon] Problems using HUTN with UML m

[Louis Rose <louis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pau,

As you anticipated, the problem was caused by UML2 using different 
datatypes to Ecore. We've fixed the issue by validating against the 
underlying Java datatype, rather than the Ecore datatype.

We're currently undergoing migration activities with Epsilon, so we're 
not interacting with the CVS server. So I've attached a fix to this 
message. To apply the fix, you'll need to:

1) Close Eclipse

2) Locate the HUTN engine plugin JAR in your Eclipse installation. 
Usually called: <<eclipse 
location>>/plugins/org.epsilon.hutn.engine_1.0.1.jar

3) Unzip the HUTN engine plugin JAR, and overlay the binary code 
directory with the archive file attached to this message.

4) Create a new JAR file from the overlay, and replace the 
org.epsilon.hutn.engine_1.0.1.jar

5) Restart Eclipse

Let us know if this fixes the problem, if you need any clarification on 
how to overlay the attachment.

If you could also open a bug report on the GMT buzilla website 
(http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=gmt&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time), 
we'll then patch Epsilon once our CVS migration has been completed. Thanks!

Many thanks,
Louis.
