This plugin is new in Sirius 5.0. It provides a session editor showing loaded models, representations and viewpoint activation status of the session. It has functionalities allowing to change the viewpoint activation status, to create/remove representations or to load unload external models. The graphical block showing loaded models is integrated with CNF. You can provide content extension to its viewer by using an id matching the pattern org.eclipse.sirius.ui.editor.graphicalcomponents.semanticModelsViewer.contentExtension.*. You also can provide action extension by using an id matching the pattern org.eclipse.sirius.ui.editor.graphicalcomponents.semanticModelsViewer.actionExtension.*. The extension will be selectable/unselectable by using a Customize View button on the models block header.

Partial support for internationalization

Sirius 3.1 introduces partial support for internationalization: all literal strings from the runtime part of Sirius are now externalized and can be localized by third parties by providing the appropriate “language packs” as OSGi fragments. Note that this does not concern the VSM editor’s UI, the VSMs themselves, or the parts of the UI inherited from Eclipse/EMF/GEF/GMF and other libraries and frameworks used by Sirius.

Some API changes were required to enable this. While technically breaking changes if interpreting strictly the OSGi versioning rules, the major version number of the impacted bundles was not incremented as the changes only concern classes that should not impact the vast majority of users. Most breaking changes concern the plug-in/activator classes from each bundle. They are:
