# Setting up Eclipse

You need to configure your project (or the whole workspace) to use the UML2Adapter.

Right-click on the project and choose ' properties ' from the pop-up menu. Therein open the ' Xtend/Xpand ' tab, activate the checkboxes Enable project specific settings and add the UML2 profiles metamodel contributor. Use the Up -button to push the UML2 profiles contributor to the first position.

### Profiles in Eclipse

If you want Eclipse to register your specific profile in order to provide static type checking and code completion in the editors, the profiles (*.profile.uml or *.profile.uml2) need to be on the classpath of the project (e.g. are contained in a `src` folder)
