Hello guy,
I have following situation:

- 1 Eclipse Plugin with the ecore metamodel.
- 1 Eclipse Plugin with MWE workflow and XPAND script for code generation using metamodel of other plugin.

To get Code Assistand of XPAND Editor working I added the folder of the metamodel to the java build path of the generator plugin (Project properties->java build path->libraries->add class folder).

This is basicly working, but when I do changes in the metamodel, XPAND code assistant does not get updated automatically. I have to readd the metamodel folder to the build path, that code assistant get updated with metamodel changes.

Is there a better whay ?

Kind regards,
Patrick

Hi,

which version do you use?
what about added a simple bundle dependency (manifest) from the gen plugin to the mm plugin?

And the score is really part of the exported packages of the model
plugin. Btw why don't you use the javabeans metamodel?

Found the problem:
I have the ecore model path added in the generator plugin as class folder. But the ecore model path must be added as class folder to the plugin of the model, then auto update of code assistant is working.

I did not tried javabeans metamodel, since I always created my metamodels with ecore.

In short, main advantages of javabeans metamodel?
