Modellink - reproducing screencast problem [message #1016708]

Hi, I've been trying to reproduce the model creation and linking in the Establishing links between EMF models screencast. Although I can create the metamodels (although the metamodel creation appears to put the following as firsst few lines:
@namespace(uri=etc, prefix="p") )...I CAN create the ecore files, and attempt to register the metamodels. However, I get two problems:

1. Despite the fact I get a confirmation that each metamodel is registered successfully in console, in the Epackage registry (after refresh), only one of these metamodels 'sticks' in the list of registered packages

2. When I try to create a model versus the metamodel that appears to be registered, I see no drop down of registered models in the dialogue. If I browse to select the metamodel I don't see the metamodel listed.

Help!

Hi Julian,

Can you post the .ecore metamodels over here, so we can have a look at them?

Hi Julian,

I've uploaded the code for this example under [1] but unfortunately drag-n-drop seems to be broken on Windows (works fine on my Mac). I'll investigate and try to fix this within the next few days.

Hi, the two metamodels I created are attached. (I get an error "You can only use links to eclipse.org sites while you have fewer than 5 messages" if I put the text of either file inline in this response).

Is there a problem with the namespace clause? This was autogenerated.

Hi, an update:
I did modify the @namespace clause of the two metamodels, to change the rather obscure uri to simple ones like "houses" and "persons", and that appeared to solve the problem firsst reported. I was able to generate ecore, register the metamodels, then create a corresponding model.

My new stumbling block with the same Modellink example is at the point where I attempt to populate the linking model. So I've created a linking metamodel, registered it, and used the modellink wizard to attempt to create linking instances. Although I can create an instance in the linking model (create child), if I drag either a Person or a House instance on to the centre pane, the editor does not accept it (get the 'no entry' symbol). Any idea of the problem?

Screen dump, and relevant emf files attached. I attempted to include PersonHouses.modelink and PersonHouses.model, but get the "You can only use links to eclipse.org sites while you have fewer than 5 messages." error message. Can send if required.

Hi Julian,

Unfortunately, this appears to be a bug on Windows. Please see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/458023/1016869/#msg_1016869. I'll try to fix this within the next few days.

Thanks,

This has been fixed in the SVN and the fix will appear in the next interim version.

Thanks. When is the 'next interim version' due to be rolled-out?

hi, how do I get about getting the 'fix'. Is there a file I should download to replace one I already have? Things can be tricky connecting to SVN, or doing Eclipse auto-updates, as we sit behind a firewall here...

thanks, Julian

Hi Julian,

To get the fix you'll need to update (Help->Install new software) from the interim update site of Epsilon:

http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/interim/

Please let me know if this is a problem and I'll put together a zipped copy of the update site for offline installation.

Thanks,
Dimitris

Hello,

Was this fixed?

I have latest Epsilon bundle and have already updated from http://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/interim/ as suggested in this post but I still get that 'no entry' symbol when trying to drag and drop from the left/right panel into the weaving model.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi Juan,

I think so. Could you please put together a minimal example [1] we can use to reproduce this?

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for responding, I was able to make it work with the files Julian provided, so I realized that I was using the wrong metamodel. I'm trying to link Papyrus models so the right metamodel is imported using:

import "http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/4.0.0/UML";

Now Modelink works perfect with Papyrus.
