Hi,

I'm trying to make a GMF editor of Archimate, I need to nest all elements inside Group element and nest an element inside itself (Contract). But none of these works.

Attahed the ecore which generated the GMF project

Do I need to modify some of edit parts classes code? or modify my ecore file?
If so, can you please help me with an example

Thanks

It's a bit hard to work with the Ecore file this way - could you change your post to use a file attachment, or paste the Emfatic source instead?

Hi,

In case you haven't come across Archi [1], you may want to have a look at it (it's also Eclipse/EMF-based) before deciding whether you wish to develop an Archimate editor from scratch.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for the advice, but I'm doing this Archimate editor because I need to modify some elements and add others.

Hi,

In my setup I'm hitting the "65535 bytes limit" issue [1] which produces a compile-time error, so I can't get the editor to run at all. Which version of Eclipse/GMF/Epsilon are you using?

Cheers,
Dimitris

I tried renaming it to ".ecore" and generating the editor as well. It works well, but it also fails with the 65535 bytes limit issue that Dimitris mentioned. Did you happen to tweak the .gmfgen or .genmodel models in some way?

Hi Antonio, I do not know how to tweak the .gmfgen. Do you have a link of an example I can look at. Thanks

Hi Lainis,

I was asking about the .gmfgen since it seemed you had managed to generate code for the original .ecore while Dimitris and I could not.

The editor works fine with the simplified .ecore: I have placed a Contract inside a Group, and then nested a Contract inside the first one. I only had to rename the file to .ecore and then right-click and use "Eugenia -> Generate GMF editor". Is there some problem with this editor?

No problem,
Antonio

Hi Antonio, the problem was that I modified the Palette Factory and it works like having a kind of instance of the element without the relations.

But I'm having trouble with another ecore because there are some elements that do not appear in the palette when I generate the editor.
I really appreciate if you can help me with this.


I attached my ecore.

The elements that do not appear on the palette are Group, Location, StrategyElement, BusinessElement...

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay - it's exam marking season Smile. You have marked those EClasses as abstract in your .ecore (meaning you don't want to actually instantiate them). Therefore, Eugenia did not produce any tooling to create instances of them.
