The great Eclipse Papyrus migration, from GMF and XWT to Sirius and EEF
summary
Papyrus migrates its GMF+XWT stack to Sirius diagrams and EEF property views, replacing GMF editors with nested Sirius editors and a new domain service for CRUD. Implemented class, state‑machine and sequence diagrams, with automated checks and gUnit tests; code size drops (example: 94,000 → 10,000 lines for UML common, 74,000 → 4,000 for class), easing maintenance. Challenges include Sirius session/toolbar integration and reconnecting element‑type services; nightly update site is available, alpha late 2023 and a migration tool Q3 2024 is planned.
