Before you can generate profile tooling, you must create
a profile tooling plug-in project. With a profile tooling plug-in
project, you can include and deploy a profile in a plug-in project,
generate a model that represents your tooling code for a specific
profile, and generate the tooling code from the model that represents
your profile. Then you can deploy the generated plug-in into an installation
so that the profile tooling is available for other users.
About this task
To create a profile tooling plug-in project:
Procedure
- Click .
- In the New Project wizard, expand and then click Next.
- On the Plug-in Project page, type a project name and click Next.
- On the Plug-in Content page, click Next.
- On the Templates page, click UML Profile Tooling
Plug-in Project and click Next.
- In the New UML Profile Tooling Plug-in Project page, complete
one of these steps:
- To specify an existing profile, click Browse,
and select a deployed profile, a profile in your workspace, or a profile
on your computer.
- To create a profile, click New, and type
a profile name and file name, specify the appropriate model library
type depending on the profile you are creating, and then click OK.
- If you specified an existing profile, select any combination
of Post-Project Creation Options:
- Click Finish. A
new Eclipse plug-in project is created that contains your previously
specified profile, the optionally generated tooling model, as well
as the optionally generated tooling code. If you have generated the
tooling model, you can now customize the profile tooling.
