How to refer to external libraries?

How-to Guides

I’d like to refer to libraries. I used to create references in EclipseIDE and i am unsure how to do this in SysIDE.

If those libraries are textual files, you should just be able to drop them into the same workspace and do

private/public import <library name>

like with any other SysML v2 package

Just a bit of clarification:

Say you have a package in mylib.sysml

package MyLib {
    part p;
}

Then as soon as you put mylib.sysml in your workspace, the name MyLib becomes available anywhere. That is to say, whenever you type MyLib it will refer to the package element specified in mylib.sysml. In particular, MyLib::p refers to the part usage you put in your package.

A private/public import statement is only necessary if you want to re-export the names from MyLib elsewhere. For example

package OtherPackage {
    import MyLib::p;
    
    // use p
}

makes p available (also!) as just p inside OtherPackage, but you could just as well have used MyLib::p directly, without an import.

Thank you @TiloWiklund and sorry for my unclear question. I was exactly looking for what @Arnas responded.
