| <p>You start by defining a UML2 model, i.e. an instance of the UML2 |
| metamodel. Inside the project, in the source folder, you create a UML2 |
| model that you should call <code class="filename">example.uml</code> (after |
| pressig<span class="emphasis"> |
| <em> Next></em> |
| </span>).</p> |
| <div class="figure"> |
| <a name="uml2example_create_model_1"/> |
| <p class="title"> |
| <b>Figure 2. Creating a new UML2 model</b> |
| </p> |
| <div class="figure-contents"> |
| <div class="mediaobject"> |
| <img src="images/uml2_example/createUMLModel.png" alt="Creating a new UML2 model"/> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <br class="figure-break"/> |
| <p>On the last page of the wizard you have to select the model object. |
| Make sure its a <span class="emphasis"> |
| <em>Model</em> |
| </span>, not a |
| <span class="emphasis"> |
| <em>Profile</em> |
| </span>. </p> |
| <div class="figure"> |
| <a name="uml2example_select_modelobject"/> |
| <p class="title"> |
| <b>Figure 3. Selecting the Model object</b> |
| </p> |
| <div class="figure-contents"> |
| <div class="mediaobject"> |
| <img src="images/uml2_example/modelobject.png" alt="Selecting the Model object"/> |
| </div> |

| <h3 class="title"> |
| <a name="uml2example_modelling"/>Modelling the content</h3> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <p>You should then build a model that looks somewhat like this: |
| </p> |
| <div class="figure"> |
| <a name="uml2example_examplemodel"/> |
| <p class="title"> |
| <b>Figure 4. Example model</b> |
| </p> |
| <div class="figure-contents"> |
| <div class="mediaobject"> |
| <img src="images/uml2_example/exampleModel.png" alt="Example model"/> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| <p> |
| <br class="figure-break"/> |
| </p> |
| <p>By the way, if you rename the <code class="filename">.uml</code> file to |
| <code class="filename">.ecore</code>, you can edit the model using the ecore |
| editors. To inspect the model, they provide a somewhat better view, so |
| you might try!</p> |
