Hi everyone,

I am writing a Java code to trigger the xpand template. I am using XpandFacade.evaluate() method. The first parameter is the template file, and the second one is the input model (root, correct?). Therefore, I am just wondering how can I turn a selected ecore file into a model object here.

Thanks a lot.

Yu

hello,

yes the second parameter is the model.
loading emf based models is a thing that is done by the emf persistence api. getting the currect selection is a part of jface.

something like

IFile iFile = (IFile) structuredselection.getFirstElement();
URI uri = URI.createPlatformResourceURI(iFile.getPath().toString(), true);
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(uri, true);
MyModelRootClass model = (MyModelRootClass ) resource.getContents().get(0);
