Develop my own code

Hi,

I'm actually working on the open source code of the Modelio free distribution (3.7) and I have some questions. (i use Modelio since a long time, but it is the first time i need to develop on it)

For my needs, i would like to be able to export my UML modelisations (my use cases will be state charts) in a binary file.
To do this, i would like to develop my own module in source code of Modelio, and add my own contextual menu when i select the package(or class) element in the tree model.
But i don't know how to create my own module (eclipse project) and add it in Modelio (to be compile & package with others modules when i execute "mvn package" for exemple)
And i don't know how to add a contextual menu too

Could you help me ?

Thanks by advance

Hi rxo39

You can follow the process described in the following wiki page .

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, but it is not i would like to do. (not a mdac)
I don't know if it is possible, but i would like to create my project and add it directly in the Modelio source code. And add it in AGGREGATOR pom.xml as module dependency.
My goal is to generate a modelio.exe (with cmd 'mvn package') which contains my own code, without add it by the mdac configuration.
If it is not possible, it doesn't matter, i will continue with the mdac approach.

Other question : when you create a new module, the modelio archetype create a specific new menu like this (see attachment)
Is it possible to have a sub menu of an existing menu instead ? For my needs, i would like a sub menu of Import/Export like this :
Import/Export -> Export -> MyMenuItem

Hi,

It is of course possible to extend Modelio without using developping a new Modelio module but rather by developping a new Modelio tool.

For this you should take a look at https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseRCP/article.html . This will give you an idea about Modelio/RCP Eclipse developpement.

Then you can get Modelio source code from https://www.modelio.org/downloads/source-code.html and start you developpement.

Hoping it helps,

Hi Ebr

Yes i know... it is too bad your answer arrive now...
I found the solution few days after my question

But thanks anyway

Hi again,

Do not forget taht according to Modelio core license, you must publish your "new Modelio" as Open Source.
