Bernd Zeuner presented the updated Papyrus Releases page. Papyrus 5.0.0 is now published.
Need still to check if Papyrus 5.0.0 provides relevant advantages to justify the move to this version.

Papyrus version review information:

• Papyrus 4.2 will provide improvements on the following topics:
  • Diagram: improve sequence diagram combined fragment + observation and general ordering+ duration link+ ordered fragments.
  • Toolsmith tool: improve of a Facet customization.
  • CDO:
    • Papyrus server with H2 has been added.
    • Integration of UML CDO in progress (inside collaborative modeling git)
  • Xtext: bug fixes.
  • Bug performance fixed with applied profile.
  • Profile Migration tool fixed
  • AF bug fix validation of AF and loading inside papyrus
  • Change about extension creation during profil design
  • The org.eclipse.papyrus.extensionpoints.editors plugin is called org.eclipse.papyrusinfra.gmfdiag.extensionpoints.editors
    • org.eclipse.papyrus.extensionpoints.editors is deprecated
  • Add text-filter and an History widget in dialog box.

• Papyrus 4.3 will provide improvements on the following topics:
  • Diagram: clean some code that was not used anymore
  • Sequence diagram fix problem about fragment ordering
  • CDO:
    • add benchmark code for
    • add aa way to add and edit easily CDO User

• Papyrus has for the version 4.4:
  • SysML1.6 (details omitted)
  • Papyrus toolsmith
    • validation of plugins:
      • you have done your profile to customize papyrus, but you forget extension point, build.xml, dependencies. We have done a work not only to validate profile but the plugin that contains the profile
      • the work has also be done for plugins that contain elementTypes model.
  • Improve developer experience to use plugin org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.core.sasheditor
    • Decrease the usage of internal elcipse code
      • Papyrus has developed at the beginning a new kind of editor compnoent sasheditor. To be more stable, we have ask to open api to eclipse in order to improve integration to eclipse.
    • Dedicated API have been created from use cases in order to help developer to access to this graphical composite; add a new editor inside papyrus, get active editor...
      • These usecases will be published inside a plugin developer doc:
        • It is will be like a javadoc that has a list of use cases and references API that implement these usecases.
  • Model2Doc
    • Papyrus will provide a documentation generator targeting LibreOffice file (odt).
    • This generator will allow to the user to describe how to cross the UML model to create the document
    • This generator will allow to the user to define a document template to use for the generation
    • This generator will support image and table insertion.

• Papyrus has for the version 4.5:
  • Improve ElementType framework configuration usage
    • Analysis the performance of the ElementType creation command.
      • ElementType performance is already optimized while lasting at last only 1.5 to 2 times longer than UML plain commands while providing the advanced customization facilities.
    • All Helpers and Advices have been reviewed in order to validate their behavior. Everything is ok.
    • Use cases of the ElementType framework have been reversed and formalized in order to be able soon to provide a detailed documentation. First use case description committed can be found in the plug-in plug-in to unregister a helper advices.
  • Diagram editor improvement
    • Correction of bugs in the sequence diagram editor.
    • Improvement of Activity Diagram editor UX (drop strategy, and major bugs have been fixed).
  • Property view improvement
    • Fix minor property view for elements.
    • Manage the stereotypes properties with SetStereotypeValueRequest instead of SetRequest for the properties view. With this, we can use element types of stereotype properties.
    • Add new tests on DataBinding elements in order to increase code coverage.
  • Add New Example Models
    • User example models now can be created by the menu example.
  • Improve ModelToDoc feature (Model2Doc?)
    • Create the version 0.7.0.
    • Modification of menus.

A huge job has been done to remove all re-exports on dependencies.
Now papyrus 5.0 compiles on Java11.
Note that all the relative: Sysml 1.4, 1.6, Moka, designer... have also been reworked to be compatible with work on re-exports and on Java11.

Gendoc failure on exporting special multiplicities (other than )

Bernd tried cases 4 and 3..5. Results

• 4 → 1
• 4..4 → 1
• 3..5 → 3..5

After checking the Gendoc script, it was realized that the script is wrongly coded:

The "1" should be changed to [p.lower]

Conclusion: The problem is not a Gendoc problem. It is a coding error.
