[xpand] how to refer to an external metamodel ? [message #549661]

Hello,

In a xpt file of my Xpand project, i would like to import a metamodel called SWING, like this :

«IMPORT swing».

The thing is that the swing ecore file is defined in another project (an ATL one), and i don't know how to make it available from the Xpand project (and to see it in auto-completion).

- I don't want to copy swing.ecore in my Xpand project. (too easy, and not elegant).

- I did "Register Metamodel" on swing.ecore

- I converted my ATL project to an Eclipse plugin and added it in the dependencies of my Xpand project

Thanks for help.

Sam.

No,

The ecore file is in an ATL project created like this : File > New > ATL Project.

No java nature for this project.

Path to my ecore : myATLProject/metamodel/swing.ecore

Add the metamodel folder to your projects path (Runtime Tab in the Manifest Editor - Classpath) + Java Nature
