[ECP] Model Explorer e4 [message #1691297]

Hello!

I would like to test ECP in an E4 application. The section in "Getting started with the EMF Client Platform" states, that to run the demo application I should use "org.eclipse.emf.ecp.application.e4.product" as my product and the feature "org.eclipse.emf.ecp.demo.e4.feature". Both are missing on my installation (Eclipse Modelling Edition w/ update to 1.5.1). Did my installation go wrong?

Second point: If I could use the demo application (e4 missing, too) as a base for my custom application, how could I display ECP's Model Explorer in my parts?

Thank you!

Hi,

short question, before I have a look: Which Eclipse IDE version are you
using?

Best regards

Jonas

Hi Jonas!

I installed the Modelling Edition of Luna SR2 (4.4.2) and updated ECP to 1.5.1.

The ECP (or EMFForms, they are the same files, 151.zip) downloads contain the validation e4 components: (jar and source) whilst the target platform archive contains the e4, demo and sdk features and ui.e4, ui.validation.e4 w/ source, emfstore.ui.e4 w/ source and application e4 jars.

Thanks for your support!

Hello!

Sadly it's still not working. I (re-)installed the available e4-features and plugins from the target platform zip. There is no "org.eclipse.emf.ecp.application.e4.product" for the run configuration, no "org.eclipse.emf.ecp.demo.e4.feature" and no source files for the demo application.

I know how to call the forms editor:

final ViewModelContext vmc = ViewModelContextFactory.INSTANCE.createViewModelContext(				ViewProviderHelper.getView(eObject, null), eObject, new DefaultReferenceService());
			try {
				ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(content, vmc);
			} catch (final ECPRendererException ex) {
				Activator.log(ex);
			}

But how do I call the Model Explorer to display my model's tree in a part?

Greetings
GV

Hi,

OK, I just realized, since 1.5.1, the e4 support is on our target update
site only. Please go to the download page:
https://www.eclipse.org/ecp/download.html
And install the e4 SDK. This should add the missing bundles. Please let
me know, if this worked, we will update the documentation then.

Best regards

Jonas

Hello!

I installed the SDK e4 (it's in EMF Client Platform Features and not under All SDKs).

Now I see my fault: there are no source files for the e4 demo application in the feature "ECP E4 Demo Application incl. Sources". "Sources" relates to the included features "UI Integration" and "EMF Forms Runtime" but not to "E4 Demo Application".

Thanks for your support!
