[Eugenia] Including certain GMF options? [message #12769] Tue, 17 February 2009 11:59 Go to next message

I guess there is no way to include certain gmfgen options already in the
..emf file, is there?
I would find it cool, if one could set certain flags like the "Same file
for diagram and model"-option or the file extension already in the .emf
file.

Spinning this further: what would really be cool, would be a possibility
to include arbitrary .gmftool / .gmfgraph (e.g. icon file names) /
..gmfmap and - most importantly - .gmfgen flags (like the ones mentioned)
already in the .emf file and hence - by means of annotations - also in
the .ecore file.

I have no idea, whether that is possible but I think it would be a great
feature for Eugenia and EMF!

Hi Michael,

There is no straightforward way to do this yet I'm afraid for custom
annotations. However, we are planning to provide support for
user-defined transformations that extend the functionality of the
default ones so that people can add and exploit custom annotations.

This said, there appear to be some specific options such as the ones you
mentioned that subsequent versions of Eugenia could support out-of-the-box.

Could you please write down a list of such annotations that you'd like
to see in future versions of EuGENia (annotations in the metamodel + how
they should be reflected in the generated models). If you could also
raise an enhancement request in the bugzilla, that'd be great!

Cheers,
Dimitrios

Wow, sound like being invited to write down a christmas wish list!
Coming soon! :-)

OK - done!

Hi Michael,

Thanks. I think that diagram-related annotations should be defined in
@gmf.diagram instead of @gmf so that we leave open the possibility that
at some point in the future more than one @gmf.diagram can be defined in
the same metamodel (to support multi-view modelling languages). Does
this make sense?

So far I've implemented the following annotation details below @gmf.diagram:

onefile - Sets the sameFileForDiagramAndModel option
model.extension - Sets the extension of the domain file
diagram.extension - Sets the extension of the diagram file
units - Sets the units option

I'll implement a few more of those today and then commit to the SVN /
update the wiki so that you can start testing :)

Cheers,
Dimitris

I've now also implemented the creation tool related annotations,
committed to the SVN and updated the wiki. A binary version
(0.8.4.200902201208) should also be available in the interim update site
(http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmt/epsilon/interim/) shortly.

More to follow soon (hopefully)...

Cheers,
Dimitris

Perfect sense! Hadn't thought about that...

Mate - I owe you a beer (or several)!

If you ever make it into the Zurich area, let me know!

Great! I at first feared that this would collide exactly with my (rather
early) vacations this year, but I just looked it up and the conf's right
after I am back, so there is a good chance you'll get your beer!
