I created a state diagram with a start, a state, and a finish symbol, and connected them with one transition line each.
Problems began when I tried to set names and actions.
1. names of transitions are not visible in the diagram.
2. the stereotypes combo box is empty, so there's no way to set stereotypes.
3. I set one DO item, but only part of the string appears ( even when symbol is stretched sufficiently).
4. when I create a New Action on the entry or exit fields of a state properties view, it creates an anonymous action (that's ok so far). But when I select that action to name it, I can type a few characters in the name field and then eclipse begins to echo the entered characters slower and slower, until it completely hangs. Then I try to shutdown eclipse and it takes a very long time to do so. Upon restart everything that was saved is fine; other work in the same workspace behaves normally.
I have tried creating or renaming Action fields a number of times in different ways. Same results: eclipse goes into slow-to-hang mode.
I have saved a screen capture containing an error popup message from eclipse which
appeared twice in response to attempts to work with Action names. If that would help I can send it or transcribe it here.
All these different problems with the functioning of eclipse State Chart makes it impossible to use it. Thanks for any help you can provide.
My environment:
Operating System and version: XP/sp2 (machine: HP with 1.8 GHz AMD).
Eclipse version: 3.1.0
Eclipse build id: I20050627-1435
Fresh Eclipse install (y/n): Y
Other installed external plugins: just those added for Add Hibernate Capabilities
Number of plugins in the <eclipse>/plugins directory that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*: 4
MyEclipse version: 4.0.0 according to Configuration Details.
JDK version: 1.5.0_04 (j2sdk5.0) -- I have only one JVM installed.
Application Server JDK version: n/a I am not using an Application Server with eclipse on this platform |

Thats right , the space next to the transition is reserved for trigger-text.

You can hit the <<>> New stereotype icon on the property toolbar and do just that

This certainly seems to be a bug. I will file this internally.

I will file this issue for investigation ASAP. Thank you for feedback. |
