Hi Ed,

In the juno version, I had an extension of OCL with dedicated metaclasses (which are referencing object from another metamodel named externMM in the following) and I managed to do the code for an xtext editor.

I'm now moving to kepler (late I know Smile

).
I saw the environmentView changed and I'm not able to add the elements from the externMM in the environmenView. It requires to be a DomainElement but I can not modify the externMM.

Is there a simple way to do like 'environmentView.addElement(myEObject.getName(), myEObject) was doing ?

thanks in advance

julien

Hi

DomainXXXX provides a very thin layer below XXXX and XXXImpl that is
intended to allow non-EObject modeling paradigms to exploit OCL.

If you cannot add the DomainXXXX interfaces into your propretary MM then
today you will have to introduce a layer of delegating DomainXXXX.

A quick experiment suggersts that there is no real reason to enforce
DomainElement rather than Object as EnvironmentView content.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=426015 raised.

ok, thanks Ed.

I made a delegation but now the proxy to the object (the xtext link) is not resolved. I will investigate.

thanks !

Hi

http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/download.php?file=/modeling/mdt/ocl/downloads/drops/4.2.0/N201401171411/mdt-ocl-Update-N201401171411.zip

should allow you to use Object.

Regards

Ed
