Essentially, yes. But we have agreed a specific version (recognizing past sensitivities when moving from version to version (even minor versions)).
If you take a look at the guidelines referenced above, or the corresponding video fragment, we identify Papyrus version 3.2.0 RC4 as the version to use. The video shows you how to get this version.This should be run on Eclipse version 4.7.2 “Oxygen”. We should also use Gendoc version 0.6.0 as noted in the guidelines, but that has not yet been agreed.
I should also mention that the RC4 load happens to also be the formal release of 3.2.0 (we set the version before they formally released).
Nigel, is there an alternative to Gendoc for generating documentation from Papyrus?
Thanks!
PS: also - are there any meaningful differences between Papyrus on Windows and Papyrus on MacOS X?
I am not aware of any differences but I have not run the tool on Mac. The only capability we have used to thsi point is gendoc (I am not aware of another capability), was there any reason why you felt it inappropriate?

About gendoc - if there is no alternative to Gendoc, I was wondering what the hold-up in agreeing to Gendoc v 0.6.0 is? (I don't see any advantage to Gendoc v 0.5.0).
No holdup, just we have not yet agreed. I have no issue. If I own the decision, then it is 0.6.0.
What is the best place to get newbie questions answered? Is it the Eclipse Papyrus forums?
Thanks!

It depends upon the question. We have use the Papyrus forums for some questions but in the standards work there are a few of us who tend to use each other's knowledge built up from struggling with the tool. Did you have specific questions (I guess they are not covered by the basic tutorial that I gave)?
I'm trying to generate documentation using the template available with ETSI IFA-015 gdNfvTemplate.docx.
Documentation is generated, but the Microsoft Word document always requires repair. The message is:
"Ambiguous cell mapping encountered. Possible missing paragraph element. <p> elements are required before every </tc>.
Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line:1 Column: 0"
Is this a gendoc bug or a bug in the ETSI template?
Thanks!
Hi Arun,
This is a known bug in Gendoc that occurs when there is an empty cell in Word:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=478883
I fixed the cases I found in ETSI NFV IFA015, but there might be others depending on the model used.
The way to debug is to open the /word/document.xml (open word as a zip) and find the </tc. without a <p>
Best regards,
Marc
Is Oxygen the Papyrus version to start to use in ONAP ?
