Hi Christian,
the model.xmi is the instance of the metammodel ,by creating dynamic instance , my question is how I got all elements of metamodel via Xpand without creating model.xmi , as I want the generated code to access the metamodel elements and not the model.xmi ?

Hi ,
For example in my template I want to write something like
for all elements in Ecore
Node_def(element,'attri','attri')
How I can traverse all elements with their attributes .
For the Example of xpand proposed in Eclipse when I create xpand project and choose Generate a sample EMF based on xpand project , I have the metamodel.ecore and when I want to create model.xmi , I choose Eclass "Model" and create dynamic instance from it and continue build my model.xmi accoeding to the structure of metamodel .
but in metamodel ecore.ecore I can not create Model.xmi from it .as I do not know
Which Eclass in ecore.ecore should I choose to create dynamic instance . How I can access ecore.ecore programatically via Xpand
sorry for my bad english and bad explanation Embarrassed

Hi,

still the question do you want to generate from ecore.ecore as model our from your.ecore an model?
in both cases read the .ecore file and write a template
that operates on EPackages EClasses ......

e.g. for the example project

«DEFINE main FOR ecore::EPackage»
«FILE name+".txt"»
EPackage «name»
EClasses «eClassifiers.typeSelect(ecore::EClass).name.toString(",")»
«ENDFILE»
«ENDDEFINE»



<?xml version="1.0"?>
<workflow>
	<property name="model" value="my.generator.project/src/metamodel/metamodel.ecore" />
	<property name="src-gen" value="src-gen" />
	
	<!-- set up EMF for standalone execution -->
	<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" >
		<platformUri value=".."/>
	</bean>
	
	<!-- instantiate metamodel -->
	<bean id="mm_emf" class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel"/>

	<!-- load model and store it in slot 'model' -->
	<component class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.Reader">
		<uri value="platform:/resource/${model}" />
		<modelSlot value="model" />
	</component>


	<!--  generate code -->
	<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
		<metaModel idRef="mm_emf"/>
		<expand
			value="template::Template::main FOR model" />
		<outlet path="${src-gen}" >
			<postprocessor class="org.eclipse.xpand2.output.JavaBeautifier" />
		</outlet>
	</component>
</workflow>
