Model Registry Getting Started
Step 1: Installing the Model Registry Support
You may have already done this, if you are reading this as part of the (UMLX) Model Registry User Guide
accessible within Eclipse via Help->Help Contents.
The Model Registry is one of the tools provided by the Eclipse GMT/UMLX sub-project.
It may be obtained from the UMLX Update site, which may be accessed by
Help->Software Updates->Find and Install...
Search for new features to install,
then create a new Remote Site, called UMLX Update site to access
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/gmt/umlx/updates. Click Finish,
select your favorite mirror, then Select the Model Registry Feature for
installation.
Step 2: Activating the Model Registry Nature
You must add the Model Registry Nature to your project if you want to bind
model name accessors, such as informal names or URIs, to the physical location
of those models.
Select your project in either the Navigator or Package Explorer views, and then select
UMLX Natures->Add Model Registry Nature from the right button menu.
Step 3: Activating the Model Registry Project Page
Model name accessors may be bound for all resources within a project, or for all
resources within a folders and its sub-folders or for an individual resource.
Select the project, folder or resource for which you want to bind model accessors.
Then select Properties from the right button menu, and select Model Registry from
the property options.
The Property Page provides a GUI to maintain registrations.
Step 4: Use the registration
The registrations may be exploited by any tool that uses the ModelResolver API,
which may be used to access Files in standalone applications, or Eclipse resources
within an Eclipse application.
The KM3, OCL, QVTc and QVTr Editors all do this. If your favorite Eclipse tool does not, please
bring the Model Registry to the attention of the tool developers.
