Here we will list all changes between Papyrus 4.8.0 (Eclipse 2020-06) and Papyrus 5.0.0 (Eclipse 2020-12).

Plugin dependencies

To ease Papyrus developement, we remove all reexported dependencies from the Manifest file.

Changes

Here the list of API changes for each plugin.

org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.architecture

• bug 565361
  • MergedArchitectureDescriptionLanguage
    • new method getTreeViewerConfigurations()

org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.core.architecture

org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.nattable

• bug 517617 and bug 532452 (ensure the selection don't change after some user actions)

We change the storage of the current selection, but we keep the algorithm provided by TableSelectionProvider, but we change the manipulation and the storages of the informations.

• • TableSelectionProvider
    • new method setActive(boolean) to allow to listen or not the selection changes
  • TableSelectionWrapper
    • new constructor TableSelectionWrapper(final INattableModelManager manager, final SelectionLayer selectionLayer, final Collection<PositionCoordinate> selectionCells),

all others are deprecated and will be removed.

• • • new methods updatePositions, to update position of referenced elements (rows/columns/cells) after a refresh
    • new methods buildSingleCellSelection, getSelectedElements, getSingleSelectedCells, addSelectedRow, addSelectedColumn, removeSelectedRow, removeSelectedColumn, copyRowsSelection, copyColumnsSelection
    • methods getFullySelectedRows and getFullySelectedColumns changed without breaking API: before the returned map used the row index as key, and now this same map use the row position as key. To obtain the row index, you must call selectionLayer.getRowIndexByPosition

• bug 486733
  • PapyrusNatTableComparatorChooser
    • change visibility from protected to public for method rebuildComparator

org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.ui.emf

• bug 565361
  • Activator
    • remove public field CUSTOMIZATION_MANAGER_SECTION -> now defined in the new class WorspaceCustomizationUpdater as protected
    • method restoreDefaultCustomizationManager has been renamed into resetToDefaultCustomizations

Behavior changes

• bug 565361:
  • The EMFFacet Customizations applied in the ModelExplorer are now defined in an ArchitectureDescriptionLanguage (Architecture file). If not, we continue to apply them using their plugin.xml declaration.
  • When the user changes the customizations to apply (using the ModelExplorer action), this change is now associated to the current edited model
  • As we define EMFFacet customizations in Architecture File and we associate user changes to an Papyrus model, the list of applied Customizations is now updated each time the user edit a new model.
  • The applied Customizations are also updated when the user change the ArchitectureDescriptionLanguage to use it is model, to be consistent with the current language.
  • A button to reset the applied Customization to the initial definition has been added to the ModelExplorer toolbar.
