I have recently started using eclipse and want to use it for UML diagrams. (Before I have been using Dia). My problem is that I simply can't find out how to add an action in an activitydiagram? There are several kinds of actions, but none of them is named simply "Action". Did I miss something? I am using UML2 Extender SDK and UML2 Tools SDK. I am grateful for every hint in the right direction.
There should actually be an Action menu where you can choose the "Opaque Action" which is the most generic. Depentently on your needs there are also other actions (i.e. AcceptEventAction, SendSignalAction, CallBehaviourAction, etc.)

I've been working on developing some audio plugins recently using the JUCE framework. I'm having an issue regarding naming the plugin. I've created separate projects for entirely different plugins. However when I load the plugin by starting Logic Pro X, I seem to only get the most recent plugin that I built, however, the plugin is always title as the very first plugin that I made. That is to say, It seems that when I make a new plugin, it takes on the name of my previous plugin and replaces it.
I've tried renaming the Plugin Code, but the AU validation tool recognizes the plugin as having the Plugin Code of the previous plugin.
Has anyone come across this problem or have any suggesting as to what might be causing it?
Additionally, I was using the WDL framework before using JUCE and had the same problem. This of course makes me think that the problem is not specific to JUCE or WDL.
Any input is appreciated, Thanks!
Open the Introjucer with one of your projects and select the "Config" tab in the left panel. Then select your project at the top of the tree view.
In the right panel, you should see 2 fields called "Plugin Manufacturer Code" and "Plugin Code".
Your other project should have the same Plugin Manufacturer code, but a different Plugin Code to uniquely identify each plugin.
I have an eclipse update site with which I install my plugin features.
I have a top category defined that displays the plugins to be installed under it.
I do not want the plugin features to be displayed, just the top category. Is it possible to hide the underlying features? If not that could somebody suggest a work around?
There is way to completely hide features in an update site.
However there is the convention that only features which are included in a category should be installed explicitly by end users. By default, the p2 user interface shows the feature grouped by categories, and in that mode, uncategorized features are not shown.
Still, users can see all features if they deselect the "Group by category" option in the UI.
The solution to the above problem I found out by creating another overlaying update site and putting my original update site under it. I guess that is the only way to resolve this issue.
I need to create a plug-in for Eclipse CDT that sends a "snapshot" of the source code of the currently opened editor each time the code is "built".
I am already capable of doing it each time the user presses a custom button created by me, but it would be great if it could be done when the "standard" "build" action is performed.
Do i need no create a plug-in of the type "builder"?
I am using Eclipse 4.4.0...
Can someone help me?! (Sorry for some english mistakes... :( )
One solution would be to create your own custom "Builder". Instead of actually building the code, it would invoke the functionality you already have.
For information on how to use the eclipse build system, please have a look here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/FAQ/How_do_I_implement_an_Eclipse_builder%3F.
Also, this website goes into more details about building in eclipse: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Builders/builders.htm. However, I think that the first one should do.
As a side note, this works with any kind of eclipse project (JDT and CDT). The build described there is common to all flavours.
Hope it helps,

I want create a installer by using Eclipse RCP. I need to give the user a wizard-like installer. This means user can do some options then click next. Or they can go back to previous page by click previous. Or they can cancel the installation by clicking cancel.
Here is my problem:
I don't know how to switch between views when clicking "next","previous". I need to create something like WizardPages and i can change between these pages?
I can't use JFace wizard because I'm required not to pop up any dialog.
I'm totally new to Eclipse RCP so please help!
thanks.
Maybe "StackLayout" is what you need.
Consider whether you actually want/need Eclipse RCP in this context. Eclipse RCP shines in complex applications with an extensive business domain and complex user interface.
An installer wizard, however, is very straightforward and static. I cannot imagine you requiring more than two or three user inputs. Your question is a bit like "I want to hear beautiful music. How do I program a robot to play the piano?"
It is much easier to limit yourself to using SWT and JFace. Use the JFace WizardDialog to make a nice installation wizard. You will find you will have never needed the Eclipse RCP framework.
See http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseWizards/article.html for a nice tutorial.
If you do think you need the features of the Eclipse RCP runtime framework, I suggest you follow the path below instead:
Create an RCP application (e.g. the sample 'Mail' application). A class will be created that is the main entry point in your application. This class will launch the Eclipse Workbench. Delete this code, and instead launch the WizardDialog.
A lot of things will not be available, such as menu's, views with drag-and-drop functionality, keybindings, etc. I cannot imagine you will need those things. However, you will benefit from the following Eclipse RCP features:
Eclipse launch framework. Ability to create a self-contained product including the JRE.
OSGi framework. Ability to easily add new plugins. Ability to use services, blueprint, etc.
JFace framework.
EMF (if you have a very complicated installation wizard)
All other eclipse plugins, although a lot of them may not work outside of the context of the Eclipse Workbench.
If you are convinced you need the full Eclipse Workbench, you can always do the following:
Define a 'base' perspective that is 'locked down'.
Use a Command to move from one perspective to the other. This will allow you to keep the previous wizard views open in other (hidden) perspectives.
Use Eclipse Contexts to hide all the standard Eclipse Workbench functionality, menu's, etc.
Since you are new to Eclipse RCP, I do not recommend learning the framework in the particular usecase of an Installation Wizard. You already need good knowledge of Eclipse RCP to be able to hack it this way, and it will not be a clean or nice implementation :-)
I downloaded Netbeans 7.1 with all bundle from http://netbeans.org/downloads and installed it successfully on Windows 7.
But I can't find Java Desktop Application which should be under Java category when add new project as 7.0 does.
Where is it? Or what is the substitute one in 7.1? I need something to create GUI by dragging components.
Thanks.
Look here: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204661
Support for [B]SAF (JSR 296, basically the framework that was behind your "Java Desktop Application" project template) has been abruptly dropped (for no valid reason, let me add).
However, as Bill says in his answer, it is not necessary to use the SAF in order to visually design a form. NetBeans swing-designer (known as Matisse) can be used to design any JFrame, JDialog, JPanel, etc.
You just have to
Right click -> New -> JFrame Form...
and you're ready to drag-and-drop!
(The features you'll be missing are the extra bells and whistles that such framework provided, like SAF Actions, windowing persistence, simplified management for long running Tasks and related visual feedback [now you have to get your hands dirty with the SwingWorker class], etc)
Java Desktop refers to an effort to create a standard or library (libraries) that never really produced anything of significance. I think its likely that they finally removed it from Netbeans.
Its easier to just create a new Java Application project, don't bother with a main, then create a new JFrame Form. That class will have a main for you to use, and you can also design the frame in the form. You can also create JPanel Form classes. Note: you can do this in just about any project in netbeans, there is nothing special about the projects for them.
its better to use NetBeans 7.0 for full support of swing components.
many tutorials and guides feature the "Java Desktop Application" (like the ones for JXMapKit : http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/10/30/building-maps-into-swing-app-with-jxmapviewer.html )
You can find something helpful to create CRUD desktop application in Java.
You can find it here.
