Hi all,
I have an Xtext-based language where in the language I can I reference elements from an Ecore or Xcore model.
When referencing elements from an Xcore model, there seems to be an issue with different version of the EcorePackage. For example, in a validator function, when I say
if (operand.expressionType == EcorePackage.Literals.EBOOLEAN) ...
the check returns an erroneous result because
expression.expressionType.EPackage
is not the same as
EcorePackage.eINSTANCE
(using Xtend syntax here)
They are both ecore packages, but one is an instance of ECorePackageImpl, while the other is an instance of EPackageImpl.
The problem does not occur when I reference elements from a plain Ecore model.
Any ideas of how to solve this issue?
Thanks
Joel

It's best not to assume that EcorePackage.eINSTANCE will necessarily be the only one used. The serialized Ecore.ecore can be loaded as a resource into any resource set. Even the Sample Ecore Editor the Load Resource... gives you a choice, i.e., Browse Target Platform Packages... will load the serialized Ecore.ecore into a resource. Xcore tries to consistently use EPackages from the target platform in all cases; I say tries, because an Ecore model may reference either one which is why GenPackageImpl has a method like this:
public boolean isEcorePackage()
{
return (EcorePackage.eNS_URI.equals(getNSURI()));
