Error description

• If you create a UML Profile Tooling Plug-in Project and choose
  'Select Profile Types' from the wizard, not all the
  '{Stereotype-Concrete Metaclass (parent)}' will be selected.  As
  a
  result, when you generate tooling code, a 'TransformException'
  error will prevent the code from being generated.
  
  The following steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1. Create a profile (.epx) file with a class diagram
  
  2. Create 3 stereotypes, S1, S2, S3, and add them to the diagram
  
  3. Give S1 a 'Metaclass extension' of 'Class', give S2 a
  'Metaclass extension' of 'Classifier', and give S3 a 'Metaclass
  extension' of 'Dependency'
  
  4. Drag the 'Dependency' metaclass onto the diagram, so that the
  extension relationship appears from S3 to 'Dependency'
  
  5. Draw a generalization relationship from S1 to S2
  
  6. Draw a directed association from S1 to S3
  
  7. Save all the changes
  
  8. Create a UML Profile Tooling Plugin Project.
  
  9. Select 'Elements' tab ? Deselect All ? Select Profile Types
  from the 'Advanced' button on the final wizard screen
  
  10. Select OK ? Finish to complete the wizard
  
  11. Generate tooling code from the tooling model
  
  Expected Result: Tooling code is generated without problems
  
  Actual Result: No tooling code is generated. Instead, the
  following error appears:
  
  !ENTRY com.ibm.xtools.uml.profile.tooling.ui 4 3 2013-01-21
  13:49:27.164
  !MESSAGE
  !STACK 0
  com.ibm.xtools.transform.core.TransformException: Rule
  'LinkSpecializationETToLinkSpecializationET Transform -
  SourceFeature To SourceGenFeature Rule': was executing source
  'org.eclipse.uml2.uml.internal.impl.ClassImpl ....
  
  
  The workaround is to verify if all '{Stereotype-Concrete
  Metaclass (parent)}' entries in the Elements table are selected
  as a result of 'Select Profile Types' action. If any such entry
  is not selected by default, select it  manually.

  "{Stereotype-Concrete Metaclass (parent)}" entries on
  Elements tab.
  

Problem conclusion

• Logic corrected for appropriate selection of elements.
