PM12239: UML Profile tooling plug-in generation does not honor profile fi le name case for pathmap leading to IRJA0291E error

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  - Microsoft Windows XP SP1/2
   - Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5
   - IBM Rational Software Modeler or IBM Rational Software Archit
  ect 7.5.5.1
  
  Reproducible Y/N: Y
  
  Description of problem:
  The pathmap entry generated by the UML Profile tooling does not
  honor
  the case of profile file.
  After deploying the plug-in, the user will get the error  IRJA02
  91E No profile has been selected during the profile
  application.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a new UML Profile Tooling Plug-in Project
  2. Choose to use the template : UML profile tooling plug-in Proj
  ect
  3. Choose to create a new Profile and use
  'aProfile' for the Profile name
  'aProfile' for the File Name
  4. Click finish
  Result
  The extension point com.ibm.xtools.uml.msl.UMLProfiles will be g
  enerated
  with the following UML Profile details:
        ?UMLProfile
              name='aProfile'
              path='pathmap://APROFILE/AProfile.epx'
              visible='true'
              required='false'
              id='TEST.aProfile'?
        ?/UMLProfile?
  =? The file is referenced as 'AProfile.epx' although the file na
  me is actually
  physically 'aProfile.epx'
  5. Install and deploy the plug-in
  6. Create a new UML project and model to apply the profile
  Result
  You get the error:
  IRJA0291E No profile has been selected
  
  Workaround:
  1. Use a first Uppercase for you profile name
  2. Change manually the plugin.xml to correctly reference the pro
  file file name with the right case.

  ****************************************************************
  Using the UML Profile Tooling Plug-in to create a plugin
  with a profile, but with no tooling model or tooling code.
  The plugin.xml that is generated differently, i.e., using a
  different class, than if the model and code were generated.
  Note that if the model and code were generated, the pathmap
  would have been generated with the correct case.
  
  The problem here is that the profile name coming in is being
  read as a 'regular' name, not a 'package' name, and is
  therefore getting capitalized.
  

Problem conclusion

• Information is now passed to the Generator to indicate a
  'package' name is being used, not a 'regular' name.  This
  means that the profile name will *not* be capitalized.
