Hi,
I am working on a project that need to use the eclipse OCL to validate the constraints defined in an Ecore model and use ATL to do the model transformation between two Ecore models. Both of them requires the instance model (the .xmi file) of an Ecore model as part of its input.
Right now I am using the "Create Dynamic Instance" feature to create the instance model of an Ecore model. But since my instance model contains a lot of objects, it is not convenient for me to add/modify the objects in the instance model via the sample reflective ecore model editor. And the modification of the ecore model may make the instance model not readable in the reflective ecore model editor. (e.g. change the multiplicity of an association from 1 to many in the ecore model).
Therefore, I would like to know is there any tool or plugin in eclipse that I can use to edit and review the instance model of an ecore model more efficiently and allows me to save the instance model as an xmi file?
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Chung-Ling Lin

<br>
I presume you are writing your own random model generator.<br>
<br>
If your goal is to provide modest sized models that stress the
constraints, I strongly recommend reading the literature.<br>

Transformation Language for Synthetic Model Generation</div>
<br>
was presented at ICMT last week and no doubt has a good related
work referring to many others. You can create custom graphical
editors moderately rapidly with Sirius.<br>
<br>
If you visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://is.ieis.tue.nl/research/ICMT16/">http://is.ieis.tue.nl/research/ICMT16/</a> you will find
a link to the Proceedings that is free for a couple of weeks.<br>
<br>
If you want huge models to test performance, you may be better off
writing custom code, since the smart generators are really slow.
There is no point viewing huge models graphically. You might find
that it is better to provide a spreadsheet view of huge models to
facilitate statistical analyses.<br>
