Spliting an product catalog into several resources? [message #1719503] Fri, 08 January 2016 12:14 Go to next message

Hi,

I'd like to split my productcatalog.setup model into reusable sub-parts and was thinking of this (http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/FAQ#How_can_I_split_containment_references_across_multiple_resources_to_support_cross_resource_containment.3F) and how the index references the catalog.

However I'm not able to us the Control command in the Setup editor. When trying to control e.g. a Compund Task I get "The specified resource is read-only".

The ultimate goal I have is to create easy to use setup-'fragment' that can be used to build Products and ProductVersions. For example one such fragment could be a P2Task that contains several feattures and that would be nice to be able to handle as a coherent unit.

Regards
Patrik

This containment reference isn't proxy resolving so can't reference
something in a different resource.

This won't generally work because there are containment references
involved and an object can be contained by at most one container; so no
form of sharing between containers can be achieved in this way.
