cannot install in eclipse 3.4.1 with myeclipse 7

[efe...@gmail.com]

I cannot install hypermodel 3.1 into eclipse 3.4.1 with myeclipse 7. I
have detailed my installation in
http://blog.efef.dk/?p=101
The error I get is:

Cannot complete the request. See the details.
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match
[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/
org.eclipse.emf.transaction/
[1.2.1.v200807161719,1.2.1.v200807161719]].

I really love hypermodel, so I would like to get it solved. My guess
is that it's a configuration incompatibility between some myeclipse
dependency (possibly optional) and hyppermodel.

I am not yet familiar with eclipse 3.4.1 which has different plugin
management from eclipse 3.3.x.

myeclipse supports explains the incompatibility and their reason.

Seems its a choice between UML2 from myeclipse or hypermodel. I'm
probably favaring hypermodel ;)

Hello Vikolaj,

First, thanks for your good words about hyperModel. Just curious,
what industry do you work in and what kinds of schemas/models?

I don't use myEclipse, but am wondering what kind of constraint they
have in their early access:
"The incompatibility is caused by some version restrictions in our
UML2 (early access) tools. From the description you gave I would
imagine that you selected these tools from the update site. The only
real way to address the issue is uninstalling our UML2 tools"

They've had very poor (and outdated) support for UML. I spoke with
their CEO at EclipseCon last year about collaborating, but no progress
on that. If their early access version required a *newer* version of
UML2, then I would expect hyperModel to work.

I'll try and find time to look into this.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

We make mobile search solutions. We are very model driven on the server
side, so we use EMF as a base component in much of what we do. From EMF
we can generate schemas which I visualise with hyper model. We use EMF
because the code generation works and is very powerful, also the
generated editors are quite useful. With Teneo we can even get it
persisted in a database quite easily. We use hypermodel because the
generated images are quick to make and nice to discuss architecture from.

I would love a more all round, robus, simple to use UML tool (for free
;) that just works, but I haven't found one yet. I haven't looked that
much at the UML part of hyper model, yet. I have used the sequence
diagram editor and the class diagram editor from my eclipse (last time
probably a year ago), but just for the easy picturing of it, no code
generation. I find suites like argouml etc. a tad too heavyweight for my
lightweight needs.

Btw. have you though of letting the dynagrams be editable? of using
graphviz (dot) for generating images?
