Question about "Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement" [message #991480]

I wanted to create a visualization of a part of the MoDisco Java Model with the help of the Generic Graph View.

So I started to write the mapping and got that far:

import org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.java.*

diagram JavaDiagram type Model {
	node DeclarationNode for this.compilationUnits {
		
	}
}

The problem is that compilationUnits is marked with the compilation error :Quote:

Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement 'compilationUnits'.

From the answers to this topic I know I should reference the xbase.lib in the project that contains the model. However the MoDisco Java Model is contained in the plugin org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.java, which I don't have control over.

Is there another way to solve that problem? Including the plugin org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib as a dependency in the project where I'm visualizing the model doesn't help.

Thanks for advice.

Andreas,

if you try to write Java code against
org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.java.Model, is there a method getCompilationUnits?

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Yes there is such a method. The source of the class is available under http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/main/trunk/org.eclipse.gmt.modisco.java/src/org/eclipse/gmt/modisco/java/Model.java?view=markup&root=Modeling_MODISCO

Might it have something to do with the return type being EList?
