Hello,

I have a frustrating issue. I'm not sure if it's a limitation of EuGENia or a mistake I'm making. I can create references to model elements in foreign diagram types, but I can't create classes that inherit from elements in foreign diagram types. When I try, EuGENia has a conniption. It doesn't throw an error, and it doesn't produce any output. Instead, it seems to enter some kind of infinite loop.

In the current example, I have two domain/diagram models: Guidance and Interaction. I can't create forum attachments (?), so simplified versions of each are listed below, using Emfatic. The main thing here is that the class interaction!Interaction extends guidance!Cheatsheet.

I'd be very interested to know if anyone else has had success with cross-domain inheritance?

Thanks,

Mark

Guidance.ecore:
@gmf(foo="bar")
@namespace(uri="http://www.golemware.net/epsilontools/guidance/0.1.4", prefix="eclipsepsm.guide")
package guidance;

@gmf.diagram(onefile="false", model.extension="guidance", diagram.extension="guidance_diagram")
class CheatsheetCategory {
  val Cheatsheet[*] cheatsheets;
  attr String[1] name;
}

abstract class Cheatsheet {
  attr String[1] name;
}

@gmf.node(label="name", tool.name="Task")
class Task extends Cheatsheet {

  @gmf.compartment(layout="list", collapsible="true")
  val Task[*] subtasks;

  @gmf.link(label="depends on", source.decoration="none", target.decoration="arrow", tool.name="Task Dependency")
  ref Task[*] dependsOn;
  attr String intro;
  attr String onCompletion;
  attr boolean skip;
  attr boolean activityGuideShowIntro;
}



Interaction.ecore:
@gmf(foo="bar")
@namespace(uri="http://www.golemware.net/eclipsepsm/interaction/0.1.0", prefix="eclipsepsm.interaction")
package interaction;

import "platform:/resource/net.golemware.eclipsepsm.design/examples/extention_problem/SimplifiedGuidance.ecore";

@gmf.diagram(onefile="false", model.extension="interaction", diagram.extension="interaction_diagram")
class InteractionModel {
  val Interaction[*] interactionElements;
  attr String[1] name;
}

@gmf.node(label="name", tool.name="Activity")
class Interaction extends guidance.Cheatsheet {
  attr String description;
  attr String helpCtxId;
  attr String helpURL;
}

Hi Mark,

I must admit I haven't tried EuGENia with cross-referencing Ecore
models. I'll have a look at this and get back to you.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reporting this and apologies for the late reply. I've found
that if instead of importing guidance.ecore directly, you register it
and then import it by URI (import
"http://www.golemware.net/epsilontools/guidance/0.1.4") EuGENia doesn't
seem to be going into this infinite loop.

In any case, this appears to be an issue worthy of further
investigation. Could you please file a bug report for this?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Grr.. trouble with the boards... my replies keep getting eaten!

Dimitris,

No apology necessary. The holiday season consumes all my bandwidth anyhow. Happy Saturnalia!

I haven't yet submitted the bug report you requested. I started to, but as I was documenting the conditions for reproducing the problem, I realized I'd misunderstood the nature of the issue. The difficulty is with recursive decomposition. I think it's connected to the issue in the thread on "Phantom nodes" (which I would link to, but that keeps eating my reply!).

I haven't had any problem at all with EuGENia, except in the presence of recursive decomposition, which makes it really flaky. Strip out the annotations for recursive compartments/phantoms, and everything works great.

I will continue working on developing a reproducible test case.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update! Please let us know when you come up with a
reproducible test case.

Regarding the forum issue I'd encourage you to submit a bug report under
the "Forums and Newsgroups" component of the Community product in the
Bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Communit y
.. The newsgroup/forum integration is a bit shaky sometimes and I'm sure
the Eclipse web masters would appreciate any feedback.

Cheers,
Dimitris
