MyEclipse: No option for UML Repository - MyEclipse 7.1

Hi,

I downloaded a trial of MyEclipse 7.1 to evaluate the reverse engineering capabilities and compare the quality of diagrams your tool produces to those from NetBeans and a few other reverse engineering tools our organization is considering.

I have looked over several posts in the forum but couldn't find a solution to get the UML Model Respository to show up in the New menu. New -> Other -> MyEclipse -> UML only has "UML1 Model" and "UML2 Model." I have opened an existing Eclipse Java project, am running JRE 1.6_13.

Thanks,
kava_la

Hi,
You need to select UML 1 or UML 2 to create a repository. Im sorry if the tutorial confused you. I guess it needs to be updated. I'll file a PR right away.

[quote="support-nipun"]Hi,
You need to select UML 1 or UML 2 to create a repository. Im sorry if the tutorial confused you. I guess it needs to be updated. II just upgraded to MyEclipse Professional so I can do UML stuff. Your suggestion to choose UML 1 or 2 modeling to create a UMR always comes up with "The specified project does not exist" error message.

Is this a chicken and egg conundrum?

Also, why the heck dion't I see the UML tab right after the MyEclipse tab at the top (like the tutorials show?)

lhale,
Could you give me some information about the steps you followed when you ran into this error? You create a new UMR and this error pops up?

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

It looks like the main key is that I needed to point MyEclipse to a workspace that already had projects in it. I originally wanted to run MyEclipse 7.1.1 out of a different workspace because I run multiple Eclipses and they like to reset everything when I switch between them. So, after I pointed MyEclipse to my usual workspace, I could create/build UML2 diagrams. But, MyEclipse complains on startup every time.

BTW, running Eclipse UML2 on the required Ganymede distribution was pretty frustrating - the diagrams created got to a level where they would exception when I re-opened them. I needed the export to UMI 2.x capability, but it looks like I need to wait for MyEclipse to add that support in your 7.5 release (It's only been about 2-3 years supported by others).

Anyways, just for your info, I dumped out my MyEclipse installation info, which doesn't show any UML stuff, but since I'm building UML2 diagrams, I won't complain:
