Hi,

Several of my students (me too) have had problems executing ETL
transformations, because we didn't use the same name for the model in
the ETL file and the launch configuration. E.g. you may think the name
in the ETL file (the part before the ! in type names, e.g.
football!Match) is the simple name of the package, while the name in the
launch configuration is the base name of the input file.

One way of helping the user, is to mention the model name in the launch
configuration in the error message, when the type name cannot be resolved.

Many thanks for the tip! Would you mind creating a bug report for this
so that we don't forget to implement this for the next release?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Couldn't you even do a validation of the launch configuration?

That's a great idea! We could definitely analyse the source of the ETL
transformation (or of any other Epsilon program for that reason) to find
out if there are references to undefined model element types.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Dimitris,

Here's the request: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=327547
I've have suggested several ways of improving the situation, including
Steffen's.
