View source for Check list: Model browser contributions

To avoid typical errors while defining ontology contributions to model browser follow the following check list:

== Step 1: Ontology Plug-in ==
Define a new ontology plugin (org.mylib.ontology)

Define dependencies from Simantics plugins in MANIFEST.MF/Dependencies/Required Plug-ins
 <nowiki>org.simantics.layer0
org.simantics.modeling.ontology
org.simantics.viewpoint.ontology
org.simantics.action.ontology</nowiki>

Include the following definitions into your ontology file (*.pgraph)
 <nowiki>L0 = <http://www.simantics.org/Layer0-1.1>
VP = <http://www.simantics.org/Viewpoint-1.2>
ACT = <http://www.simantics.org/Action-1.1></nowiki>

Define a new library (www.mylib.org) for your ontology under Simantics root (''http://''):
 <nowiki>MY_LIB = <http://www.mylib.org> : L0.Library
  @L0.new</nowiki>

Define your ontology  under the library and specify its ResourceClass
 <nowiki>MY_ONTOLOGY = <http://www.mylib.org/MyOntology-1.0> : L0.Ontology
  @L0.new
  L0.HasResourceClass "org.mylib.MyOntologyResource" : L0.String</nowiki>

Check the Name property of ontology plugin in MANIFEST.MF/Overview/General Information. It has to match with URI (without version number) of your ontology.
 <nowiki>Name: http://www.mylib.org/MyOntology</nowiki>

Export the package (org.mylib) of ResourceClass in MANIFEST.MF/Runtime/Exported Packages.

Define a new context and include it into MOD.ModelingActionContext
 <nowiki>MY_AC = MY_ONTOLOGY.MyActionContext : VP.BrowseContext
  VP.BrowseContext.IsIncludedIn MOD.ModelingActionContext</nowiki>

Define a new ActionContribution for each action in this context
 <nowiki>MY_AC
 VP.BrowseContext.HasActionContribution _ : VP.ActionContribution
  L0.HasLabel "My action..."        
  VP.ActionContribution.HasAction MY_LIB.MyAction : ACT.Action
  VP.ActionContribution.HasNodeType
   L0.Entity

== Step 2: Implementation Plug-in ==
Define a plugin for action implementation(org.mylib)
