GMF-Generator doesn't customize gmfgraph::Figure [message #559302]

Hi @ everyone

I have customized gmfgraph::Figure by creating an Figure.xpt like

«IMPORT 'http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/2006/GraphicalDefinition'»
«IMPORT 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore'»
«EXTENSION CustomUtil»
«EXTENSION Util»

«AROUND additions FOR gmfgraph::Figure»

...DO SOMETHING...

«ENDAROUND»

This should generate a
innerclass in my editpart like the following:

/**
* @generated
*/
public class SpecialStepPreviousStepFigure extends RectangleFigure {

/**
* @generated
*/
public SpecialStepPreviousStepFigure() {
this.setLineWidth(0);

this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(getMapMode().DPtoLP(30),
getMapMode().DPtoLP(30)));
}

...DO SOMETHING...

This doesn't work anymore, only the default-constructor as shown above is created, my own contributions are ignored.

Can you help me?

Best regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

the edit part's figure class body are created during the gmfgen model
creation. So might double check it at the nodes view map classbody
attribute. There is an option with the gmfgen creation dialog let you
decide which kind of code gen you prefer (java or QVTO). The default
selection is the java style. I've provided my own java based generation,
but I can tell you that I was forced doublicating a lot of code, since
the default implementation does not look like designed for extension :-(
For the QVTO: I've not searched for the default templates and if there
such for customization nor how QVT behaves on merging base and custom
templates located on different plugins...

Hi again,

thank you for your quick answer,

I think the problem is a different one.
I have enabled custom templates while using galileo.

Now I wanted to port my editors to helios and with this it doesn't work anymore.
So it principally worked with the old eclipse version.

Did something in structure change, so that the gmf-generator doesn't find the xpts?
can I debug or increase log-messages using the generator?

Best regards
Markus

OK, problem was different.
We used a .def-file to build things with gmftools. We defined a figureTemplatePath, which was ignored building from the GMF-Toolbar-Button
