Description Tatiana Fesenko CLA 2008-05-07 07:54:03 EDT 
The file extension for UML diagrams are rather long. Perhaps an abbreviated form would be better, e.g. *.ucd instead of *umlclass_diagram? Or, even just *.umlclass without _diagram would be better.
Create diagrams in files with shorter extension, however, obsolete diagram files should be supported as well, it should be possible to open and edit them.

Simple patch

Changed generated code, that allows to edit both 'umlclass_diagram' and 'umlclass' files, files with extension 'umlclass' are created by wizard.
TODO: Make code generated. 
Xpt templates should be changed n order to generate required code. Gmfgen model should be changed to provide available extensions.

Modified Generator

Diagram file extensions rea stored in 'diagramFileExtension' prorperty as comma-separated list. The first one is a default one, it is used for diagram creation.
GMF Generator was modified to solve the problem - xpt templates were changed in 'def' plugin.
ClassD was re-generated.
Comment 3 Michael Golubev CLA 2008-05-12 07:23:22 EDT 
Other changes that were made: 
CompD -> .umlcomp
DeployD -> .umldepl
CompositeStructuresD -> .umlcsd
UseCaseD -> .umlusc
ActivityD -> .umlact
StateD -> .umlstm
SequenceD -> .umlseq

All those changes are backward compatible -- we are processing old diagram files correctly, but all new diagrams are created with short extensions

Verified in M7 for all diagrams
