Specifying a description for a structural feature [message #1300041]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to specify a description for a "field". For instance, I have the following xcore model:

class Product {
	String runtime_dir = "some runtime dir"
	String install_dir = "some install dir"
}

And this is more or less what I would like to do:

class Product {
        // The runtime directory
	String runtime_dir = "some runtime dir"

        // The installation directory
	String install_dir = "some install dir"
}

Then, at runtime, I would like to be able to fetch this description in order to display it to the user.

I would like to have this in the model in order to have everything in the same place.

I'm not sure how to achieve this.

Regards,
BQ.

Bertrand,

As of now, you can only model features with Xcore, not something that
will map to just fields in the generated implementation class...

Thanks for your answer Ed.

I assume I wasn't clear but anyway I think I've found what I need:

class Product {
        @Ecore(description="The runtime directory")
	String runtime_dir = "some runtime dir"

        @Ecore(description="The installation directory")
	String install_dir = "some install dir"
}

It seems I can get the annotation @ runtime with getAnnotations

Fits my requirements Smile

Regards,
BQ.
