Eclipse Process Framework Process Mapping UML Profile for SPARX EA

This is a new UML Profile used to map and plan the contents of a custom built Eclipse Process Framework Plug-in.




Last spring we started putting a UML profile together for mapping content build in the RUP Builder and for content we planned on importing into Team Foundation Server's SharePoint process guidance sites using the Process Template Editor. The project stalled and by the time we got back to it we found ourselves using the EPF Composer.


The UML profile was repurposed for use with EPF Composer. The profile is being used to map out process content for a new repository for the State of Pennsylvania. Although we wish we could publish the content being compiled, we cannot due to copyrights on the material. We can however, publish the map of the content, that we used this UML profile to build.


You can view a partial map of the content we are compiling from the download page on this site. It will give you an idea of how the profile can be used in the real world.

The download includes the following files:

• EPF PMP Getting Started.eap- A start up project used to show some of the features in the EPF PMP Readme.doc.


• EPF PMP Readme.doc- How to get started and an overview of the features.


• EPF Process Mapping Profile Images.xml- Images to enable the profile. This is explained in greater detail in the EPF PMP Readme.doc.


• EPF Process Mapping Profile.xml- The profile that needs imported. This is explained in greater detail in the EPF PMP Readme.doc.


• EPF Process Mapping UML Profile.rtf- This document provides an overview of the Eclipse Process Framework UML Process Mapping Profile. This document was generated by SPARX EA.

We have this available as one of the downloads on this site.
