Hi,
I have two models, A.screen and B.data. Both are xmi files with different ecore meta models. I can easily reference from A.screen to B.data by just creating a reference relation in the meta model "screen" to something from the meta model "data". Everything is fine when I have both model files in the same project. But how can I refer from A.screen to a element from B.data when B.data is in a seperate jar file/somewhere in the class path.
When both are side by side something like
href="B.data#//@types.1"
is referencing a type from B. But it seems that is mechanisim doesn't work when B is in a seperate jar file.
I want to reach that A.screen is part of a WAR file and B.data is in a jar file which I just included in the class path.
I'm using Maven as build system.
Thanks,
Johannes.

Johannes,
Is the goal to do this in a standalone application or from an
Eclipse/OSGi application?
In the former case, you can use
platform:/plugin/<plugin-id>/<path-in-plugin> to load the initial
resource and the workspace-relative references between them should
resolve properly at runtime as plugin-relative references; that's how
*.ecore and *.genmodels reference each other at development time and at
runtime.
If it's a stand alone application, you will need to consider more
details. Ideally you'd use URI folder mappings to match each workspace
relative path to the location of the jar. E.g., each XyzPlugin class
has getBaseURL() which returns the location of the jar/folder containing
the class.
