| <p>What is making Eclipse Sirius so unique? That’s its capability |
| to easily create custom graphical modeling tools adapted to each |
| specific need.</p> |
| <p>With Sirius 4.1, custom Properties Views come out of the experimental box and get promoted as an official production-ready feature. |
| As usual, this new release also comes with several UX improvements on diagrams.</p> |
| <br /> <br /> |
| |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="properties_view"></a>Properties Views</h2> |
| <p>Arrived with Sirius 4.0 as an experimental feature, this integrated way to define your own properties views is now mature and |
| ready for an usage in production.</p> |
| <p>First, we have improved the default properties views which are provided by Eclipse Sirius, even if you didn’t specify any custom view. |
| After tests on many different metamodels, this new version correctly supports the main cases, so that now you have nice properties |
| views for free on your existing modeling tools built with Sirius.</p> |
| <p>Most of all, these default properties views can be inlined into the specification of your modeling tool, so that you can modify them.</p> |
| <p>In addition, new features have been added for the customization.</p> |
| <p>The most notable one is the new Reference widget which allows the user to see the relations of an object in a pre-built list coming with five buttons to manage the elements (browse, new, delete, up and down).</p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <img class="shadow" src="../images/whatsnew4_1/reference-properties-view.png" alt="Sirius - Properties View" border="0" /> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>As you can see, now it is possible to hide the legacy tabs (the Default and Semantic tabs automatically |
| generated by EMF).</p> |
| |
| |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2> |
| <a name="customization"></a>UX Improvements |
| </h2> |
| <p>Like each version of Sirius, 4.1 brings many graphical improvements that simplify the user’s experience.</p> |
| |
| <h3><b>Better recognize edge’s label</b></h3> |
| <p>When the user selects an edge, the labels are automatically selected and a link is shown between them. |
| On large diagrams containing many elements, this new feature (available by selecting an option in the preferences) allows |
| the user to more easily identify which label corresponds to which link.</p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <img class="shadow" src="../images/whatsnew4_1/edge-label.gif" |
| alt="Sirius - Link between an edge and its labels" border="0" /> |
| </p> |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <h3><b>Quicker style application</b></h3> |
| <p>The existing copy/paste layout option has been extended to allow the user to also paste the graphical style of the |
| selected objects.</p> |
| |
| <p>Now, with Sirius 4.1, after the user has copied the format of diagram elements, he can choose to paste only the layout |
| (size and position, as it was already possible with Sirius 4.0), to paste only the graphical style (font, color, …) or to paste both. |
| Note that this option only applies to the same semantic elements. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <img class="shadow" src="../images/whatsnew4_1/copy-paste-format.gif" |
| alt="Sirius - Copy/Paste graphical style" border="0" /> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <h3><b>Easier border nodes alignment</b></h3> |
| <p>The Snap to Shape option is now available also on border nodes. |
| It means that Sirius displays guide to the user to facilitate the alignment of border nodes relatively to each other. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <img class="shadow" src="../images/whatsnew4_1/snap-to-shape.gif" alt="Sirius - Border nodes alignment" |
| border="0" /> |
| </p> |
| <p> </p> |
| |
| <h2><a name="properties_view"></a>Other changes</h2> |
| |
| <h3><b>Reducing versions conflicts</b></h3> |
| <p>Before Sirius 4.1, some issues could occur when users were trying to load a modeling project into a modeling tool of |
| which version was older than the one used to create the model.</p> |
| |
| <p>Now this kind of operation is forbidden: users can only load modeling projects with a tool whose version is the same |
| or is more recent (in this case Sirius automatically performs a migration).</p> |
| |
| <h3><b>Ready-to-use service class</b></h3> |
| <p>To facilitate the creation of new services, when you create a new Viewpoint Specification Project, |
| by default an empty service class is automatically created and pre-registered, ready to host your Java methods!</p> |
| |
| <p> |
