Using resource factories [message #528605]

Hi folks,

I've got a language defined using EMFText and want to access these
models from EOL. EMFText keeps the models in plain text and provides a
resource factory to parse them into EMF models when needed.
Unfortunately, it would seem that EMC ignores the resource factories, so
it keeps complaining that it cannot parse my model because it is not
valid XMI (which it isn't :-) ). Is there already a way to make use of
the resource factories?

Cheers,

Steffen

Hi Steffen,

The EMF driver does indeed respect custom resource factories. I've tried
Epsilon with Xtext in the past and it worked fine but I'll try with
EMFText too and let you know how it goes.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Cool. Many thanks for the quick reply. It may very well be that I'm just
doing something stupid here in how I configure my EOL launch...

Sorry, my bad. When I looked at the stack trace I noticed the line
numbers didn't match up with the current source code from SVN, so I
checked the version of Epsilon installed. It was 0.8.2.1. I updated
Epsilon and now it seems to work...

Cheers,

Steffen
