annotation references [message #558227]

Hi,

I thought I'd try Emfatic.. However, it does not work correctly with my ecore model due to the EAnnotations I have. My annotations are for adding references to other meta-classes. They have no details.

I saw...
Detail-less annotations [message #128743] from 2008.
Is this still not resolved?

However, even if I add a dummy detail, my references are discarded by Emfatic.

Hi Colin

You might want to try http://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/OCLinEcore which has a
more OMG-like syntax that supports OCL and has, what I think is a, more
natural presentation of associations.

Still a WIP evolving to full UML class-like support for Indigo.

Ed,

Thanks for the suggestion but I already tried OCLinEcore and that doesn't seem to work either:

When I open my ecore file with OCLinEcore it shows my annotation references (which are to a meta-class within a sub-package in another ecore model) but it cannot resolve them and flags them as errors and if I save it throws them away.

Multiple markers at this line
- Couldn't resolve reference to ModelElementCS 'Machine'.
- The feature 'ref' of 'org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.base.baseCST.impl.ModelEleme ntCSRefImpl @19fbfd3a {platform:/resource/ac.soton.eventb.iumlb.domain/model/iumlb .ecore#//@packages.0/@classifiers.0/@annotations.0/@referenc es.0}'
contains an unresolved proxy ' org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.base.baseCST.impl.BoundClassC SImpl@1d82e71{platform:/resource/ac.soton.eventb.iumlb.domai n/model/iumlb.ecore#xtextLink_:://@packages.0/@classifiers.0 /@annotations.0/@references.0::http://www.eclipse.org/ocl/3. 0.0/BaseCST«ModelElementCSRef«0::/0}'

Actually, I think I may have installed an old version of Emfatic
( 0.3.0.200810132307) which is recommended here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Emfatic. But i can't find a newer release.

There are a few (rather embarassing) OCLinEcore bug fixes in MDT/OCL 3.0.1.

Can you send me your Ecore (in confidence if you like) to
ed_at_willink_dot_me_dot_uk so that I can include another interesting
Ecore in my test suite?

Thanks for sending the repro. Finally gpt round to looking at it.
