[Texo] How to create ecore file with sub-packages? [message #874687]

I have several separate files with xsd models for them. I wanted to create master package that use types from those seperate xsdmodel. Unfortunately Texo ignore schemaLocation tag.
Example: <xs:include schemaLocation="batch_config.xsd"/>

Then I found greatexample in Git:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/tests/org.eclipse.emf.texo.modelgenerator.test/src/org/eclipse/emf/texo/modelgenerator/test/models/samples/kdm.ecore

There is a package that has sub-packages. How to create such ecore model?
I have several ecore models generated from my xsd files but copying them do not work in editor. Do I have to copy them manually in text file? Is there a special way to create?
Can it be generated from xsd file?

Hi Ed,
Not sure but is it possible to somehow generate an ecore with subpackages from a xsd?

@Olaf and what happens if you use an xs:import? So that your master xsd has a separate namespace?

xs:import create two differentecore files. With same conntent as it where generate seperately but different names (URI in name). The tag that reffer to another xsd file is not created. No common ecore package event if same base name.

Hi Olaf,
I checked with Ed and EMF can't create subpackages from a xsd, subpackages are not really recommended it seems.

I tested xs:include and with me it works fine. I had 2 xsd's, one includes the other and then I only generated code for
the including one and code was generated for all of the types in boths xsd's. So afaics Texo does not ignore the
included one.

@Martin,
could you please attach/send the example you have? I would like to analyse how it is defined.
I spend yesterday whole day on combinig/guessing how to connect my ecore files into single one.
Finally I managed it works. I copied manually ecore files into single file. I had to define manually sub-packages and update references.
I think Texo should be able to do that too. For me it does not matter if it would be from xsd files or from ecore files but it would be very helpful feature.
Now I have single ecore file with 7 sub packages and generate correct code from the file. The file can be opened in editor even after code generation (all necessary classes are in single location, not in separate package folders). Now I can create master class that would be annotated, easy to manage group of xml files with save to database. This is what I needed.
Can you please think how to automate combining several schemas (xsd or ecore) into single ecore file?

Hi Olaf,
But this sounds like a lot of work for you, each time you now change the xsd you have to manually update this
master/combined ecore file. The problem is that when changing an xsd I would need to know in which ecore file the model
is stored. Currently this is done by name, so a abc.xsd will update the abc.ecore and use a abc.annotationsmodel file.
But with multiple xsd files to one ecore file that's not really possible. At least not without having some xsd-ecore
linking information somewhere.

To be honest without a clear solution direction this feature does not have my highest priority.

@Martin,
for me the easiest would be creating multi-package ecore file when more than single xsd/ecore file was selected, or even separate menu option when needed.

Hi Olaf,
Okay that sounds doable and not too difficult, when selecting multiple xsd's then a separate menu option can be there to
generate a single integrated ecore file. Can you enter a bugzilla for this?
