Hi,

I'm currently creating a graphical editor using Sirius. In the the representation I can add a Method and choose its return type in the Properties tab. Thing is the return type depends on some model that is not automatically loaded in the Modelling Project. Thus the return types won't show in the list in the Properties tab.
When I go to the corresponding tree editor, I can easily add the return type in the Properties tab. By doing so, a dependency is added to the Project Dependencies, containing my return types and when I go back to the representation all return types are then available in the list.
My question now : How to automatically add dependencies when I select my Viewpoint ?

Thank you

When defining your RepresentationDescription in your odesign, make sure
that all required meta-models(and thus your MM defining the return type
Class) are declared as metamodels. This help sirius in many feature to
work better and faster. [1]

Hi, thanks but it didn't work as expected. I added the metamodel via the properties tab of my diagram description but the return types still don't show up in the editor and the dependencies aren't automatically added.

Add the metamodel you use as a dependency of your VSP. It helps Sirius
to better find or restraint the metamodel used for completion,
validation and runtime.

I mean plugin dependency : edit the Viewpoint Specification Projet
MANIFEST.MF and add a dependency to the plugin containing your semantic
Meta-model

I added the plugin containing the metamodel as a Require-Bundle to the manifest file but the metamodel still won't show in Project Dependencies in the modelling project where I test my editor.

I will try to rephrase the issue here. In the editor tree, in addition to the diagram whose name begins by "platform:/" the metamodel containing the return types is also loaded via its URI beginning with "pathmap://". The second I assign a return type to a signature in my diagram via the editor tree, the metamodel is added to the Project Dependencies, and only then the return types will be available in the graphical editor.
It would be great if these dependencies could be directly loaded when I select my Viewpoint.

I could add the models via an external java action at the root of the representation description. That way it will execute as soon as the representation is created.
