Do I need to include the Sirius representation metamodel? [message #1651325]

Hi,

In my editor description, I need to refer to Sirius representation concepts like DSemanticDiagram.

If I validate my editor description, the validator complains about these concepts being unknown. This can be solved by including Sirius metamodels in the Metamodels property of the diagram description (along with my own metamodel).

Is this really necessary?

Reason for asking is the observation that double clicking an *.aird file leads to loading referenced models. On regular occasions, the list of models contains a lot of models that seem to origin from a package registry (like Ecore.ecore). I suspect that adding the dependency to the Sirius metamodel drags in a lot of other metamodels.

Could that be possible?

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi again Wilbert :)

Indeed at aird loading, as it references odesign resource, referenced
metamodels are also loaded, which is not very good for ResourceSet
memory footprint. Could you raise a bugzilla about that?

Best Regards.
