To use an Omondo Profile in your Eclipse workbench, you must declare an extension of the com.omondo.uml.std.profiles point. The extension mechanism is an Eclipse feature that allows users to plug custom elements into their Eclipse environment.

The following code snipset is extracted from the plugin.xml file:

   
<extension point=
"com.omondo.uml.std.profiles"
>
 
      
<profile 
        name=
"Example Profile"
 
        class=
"com.omondo.uml.profile.example.ProfileExample"
 
        id=
"com.omondo.uml.profile.example.ProfileExample.id"
 
        model=
"com.omondo.uml.profile.example.profile.uml2"
>
 
            
<property 
                name=
"myProp"
 
                value=
"myValue"
>
 
            
</property>
 
            
<property 
                name=
"myProp1"
 
                value=
"myValue1"
>
 
            
</property>
 
            
<fragment 
                class=
"com.omondo.uml.profile.example.FragmentExample"
 
                diagramType=
"classDiagram"
 
                elementType=
"association, class, interface, operation, property"
 
                stereotype=
"Example::MyStereotype"
>
 
            
</fragment>
      
      
</profile>
 
   
</extension>
