How to run your script on Astah version – on Java 8

The Script Plug-in is the easiest way to add customized features to Astah for your specific needs using API.
Astah moved its Java Runtime from Java7 to Java8 since version 7.0 and due to its update, the script you were using in Astah 6.9 or earlier will no longer function in version 7.0 or later. You need a small tweak to make it run.

How to update your existing Script

1. importPackage

Use one of the following notations ;

Before

importPackage(com.change_vision.jude.api.inf.editor);
//use the classes in the package

(A) Use JavaImporter

with(new JavaImporter(com.change_vision.jude.api.inf.editor)) {
    //use the classes in the package
}

(B) Load “nashorn:mozilla_compat.js”

load("nashorn:mozilla_compat.js");
importPackage(com.change_vision.jude.api.inf.editor);
//use the classes in the package

(C) Use Java.type

var TransactionManager = Java.type("com.change_vision.jude.api.inf.editor.TransactionManager");
//use the class

2. println

Before

println("Astah"); 

(A) Use print instead of println

print("Astah");

(B) Add println=print;

println=print;
println("Astah");

3. .class

Before

var classes = astah.findElements(IClass);

Add .class

var classes = astah.findElements(IClass.class);
