[Eugenia] Generate GMF ... does nothing!? [message #11332] Fri, 06 February 2009 09:35 Go to next message

Hi - I wanted to give Eugenia a try but ran into a problem (or bug?):

I downloaded/installed Epsilon from
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/epsilon/updates/ and then
exactly followed the screencast at
http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/cinema/Eugenia.htm.

I copy-pasted the File system example found a
http://epsilonlabs.wiki.sourceforge.net/EuGENia into the Emfatic editor
as suggested and was able to create the .ecore file from the .emf file -
no problems.
I then created the .genmodel file as instructed and next issued the
Eugenia => Generate GMF tool, map and graph models command.
But, alas, in contrast to the screencast nothing happens here, i.e.
there are no .gmf* files showing up in the model folder (nor anywhere
else).

What am I missing? This is using Eclipse 3.4.1 (Ganymede) and Epsilon
0.8.3.
There are no problems, i.e. all files seem fine and have no syntax
errors.
I also checked the eclipse log file and it show no entry.
Hints, ideas, suggestions?

Michael

I forgot to mention that I have also created the EMF editing code
between these two steps, i.e. I selected filesystem.genmodel =>
Generator => Generate All.
Just in case...

Hi Michael,

I'm not really sure what might be going wrong. I know that quite a few
people have been using EuGENia but there have been no similar problems.
The only thing I could suggest is to start Eclipse via the command
line and see if any stacktrace shows up there...

Cheers,
Dimitris

Nope - nothing appears:
---------------
C:\>C:\eclipse_3.4.1\eclipse\eclipse.exe -clean -vm
C:\IBMJSDK1.6.0\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms50M -Xmx750M -Xss512k -Duser.language=en_US

C:\>
---------------

Eclipse's .log-file also show nothing relevant (a couple of key binding
conflicts and "Unable to retrieve system properties" which it has shown
on my system already for ages...).


I then decided to try a last time from square zero:
I painstakingly followed the installation guide at
http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/P2InstallationGuide.p df, i.e. I

1. I downloaded eclipse-ganymede-modeling-SR1
2. I added http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/epsilon/updates/ as
new download site
3. from that installed Epsilon (the entire thing)
4. lastly, I installed Emfatic from
http://www.scharf.gr/eclipse/emfatic/update/.

I then directed the new eclipse installation to the existing project,
containing the filesystem.emf file and restarted from there, i.e.
recreated the .ecore file, from that the .genmodel file, from that did a
Generate All.
Finally I selected the filesystem.ecore again and issued the Eugenia =>
Generate GMF... and - again - nothing! And also again: nothing in the
log nor on the console. :-(

Is there anything else I could provide or try to debug this?

Michael

PS.: I must have some bad aura for eclipse projects...

Hi Michael,

You seem to have done everything correctly... Would you mind creating a
zip of the project and sending it to me (either through the newsgroup or
in private)?

Cheers,
Dimitrios

Just for the benefit of others in the NG:

in private conversation and tests Dimitris and myself found out and
verified, that there is a problem with the file generation, if the
project is *not* located in the eclipse workspace, but located somehwere
else in the fileystem tree (as was the case in my setup). Dimitris
intends to have this fixed in v0.8.4 which should be out in a couple of
weeks.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reporting this back to the newsgroup! Could you also please
post the link to the bug when you create it?

you will be able to pick up the fix immediately. Otherwise, the 0.8.4
binaries should be out sometime during next week.

Thanks again for reporting this and for your patience in isolating the
