Applying the UML-to-Java transformation profile

You can apply the stereotypes in the UML-to-Java transformation profile to validate source model elements, or to control how the UML-to-Java transformation generates Java™ source code.

Before you begin

Note: When you create a model or a project that contains a model, you can specify a Java template model, which creates a UML model that has the Java transformation profile already applied. See the related link at the end of this topic.

You must have a UML model open in the Modeling perspective.

About this task

Important: Do not apply the UML-to-Java (deprecated) transformation profile to a source model. Instead, you should apply the UML-to-Java transformation profile. The deprecated profile does not contain new stereotypes, and the validation rules are different for stereotypes with the same name as the stereotypes in the UML-to-Java transformation profile. The only time that you might apply the deprecated profile is if you migrate a UML model from a version 6 release of IBM® Rational® modeling products, and want to validate the source model automatically, using an older set of validation rules.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, double-click a model or a package in a model.
  2. In the Properties view, on the Profiles page, click Add Profile.
  3. In the Select Profile dialog box, click Deployed Profile.
  4. From the Deployed Profile list, select Java Transformation.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click File > Save.

What to do next

After you apply the profile to the source model, you can apply specific stereotypes to validate source model elements. The stereotypes that affect how the transformation generates Java code are applied automatically when you run the UML-to-Java transformation.
