Hi all,
It is not clear to me how I can link an .ecore diagram to Graphiti. Can someone please explain me how to do it? Sorry for the silly question, but I am quite confuesed as the provided tutorial only uses general EClass and EReference.

Thanks for your attention
Simone

Simone,

I'm not sure what you mean with "link an .ecore diagram to Graphiti"?

Usually you have file extensions for a diagram (type) you create in
Graphiti. This extension would be associated with the DiagramEditor by using
the Eclipse editors extension point (so that double clicking that file by
default opens the diagram editor).

An ecore diagram file is at least in my understanding a file that has been
created using the Ecore tools diagram editor. This is not a Graphiti based
tool, so it will not be possible to open this file using the Graphiti
diagram editor.

Thanks for your answer Michael.
What I wanted to say is, if I design my domain model in EMF, how can I use this model in Graphiti? In GMF is quite straightforward, but it is not so clear (to me) in Graphiti.

Hope the question is clearer now.

Simone,

after designing your EMF model you have an Eclipse plugin containing the
generated code for that model. You can simply reference that plugin from
your tool plugin and work with the model. Basically this is shown in the
tutorial, just that the tutorial uses the Ecore model itself.
