[EOL, Ecore2GMF.eol] How duplicate GmfMap!NodeMapping? [message #512656]

Hello everyone!

I'm developing a GMF editor using EuGENia (Ecore2GMF.eol) and I need to duplicate some complex NodeMapping (they include compartments, childreferences and labels).

I have already read this post about it: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=125673& amp; amp;start=0&

but I have some NodeMappings that are very complex to copy their elements one-by-one,so: Are there another option to duplicate a GmfMap!NodeMapping (or either element)?

Thanks,

Hi Alvaro,

Are you creating these NodeMappings programmatically? If so, you may
want to define an operation for each one of them so that you can call
them multiple times. e.g.

operation createNodeMapping() : GmfMap!NodeMapping {
var nm : new GmfMap!NodeMapping;
...
// Populate the node mapping here
...
return nm;
}

Would that be an option?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitrios,

Could be a great option Very Happy

.
Now, I have created programmatically (using EOL) these NodeMappings,
so I will put the code in operations like you say.

Anyway, I think that EOL should allow cloning model elements
because there are a lot of them that it have been created from
Ecore's annotation and not using code. Perhaps in the future?

Hi Alvaro,

I think you're right. I'll put it in my todo list for 0.8.9.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Yesterday, I didn't see the code and I though that the NodeMappings were created
programmatically, but it's not.
These NodeMappings are created from Ecore
(by "Generate GMF tool, graph and map models" ) and modified programmatically
so I can´t do what you said in the previous post. Sad

Cheers,
Álvaro

I have already solved this problem using this operation:

operation createFunctionMapping(option:String):GmfMap!NodeMapping{

var FunctionModel=ECore!EClass.all.selectOne(n|n.name='Function' );
var FunctionMapping;
if(option=='1'){
--get NodeMapping created from Ecore
FunctionMapping = GmfMap!NodeMapping.selectOne(n|n.domainMetaElement.name='Fun ction');
}else{
--create New NodeMapping
}

--Rest of code...

return FunctionMapping;
}

Hi,

Can't you write a generic clone function that takes two EObjects that
are instances of the same EClass and uses the EClass to traverse all
features and copy their contents from EObject 1 to EObject 2?

Hi Dimitrios,

Could be a great option :d . Now, I have created programmatically (using EOL) these NodeMappings, so I will put the code in operations like you say.

Anyway, I think that EOL should allow cloning model elements because there are a lot of them that it have been created from Ecore's annotation and not using code. Perhaps in the future?
