Hello all,

I have created a graphical editor using sirius and now I want to let others use it as a plugin. I have done the steps below to create a jar file:

1) export the viewpoint project as a plugin
2) move the jar file to dropins folder.
3) restart the eclipse

and now I expect to see the name of the project when I new in file tab but I couldn't see anything.

Is the process correct to create the editor as a plugin?

If anybody could help me with how I should create the editor as a plugin, I will appreciate it.

Thanks,
Maryam

There's a full tutorial here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Sirius/Tutorials/UpdateSiteTutorial

Basically, you create a feature project in the runtime environment with all ecore model relted project + design project, then an update site project containing the feature project, and then archive the update site so that it can be installed by others.

Thanks for your response but one more problem.

When I installed the Plugin and restarted the eclipse, I couldn't see any perspective or I couldn't find any project type in file->new->other for my editor. How could I open it?

It should have been there. Make sure you followed all the steps of the tutorial and included the ECORE, .edit. editor, .design plugins (4 plugins).

Hi

Getting Acceleo to contribute satisfactorily to a build is an FAQ for which you will find some not very satisfactory answers on the M2T forum.

I tend to recommend letting Acceleo build interactively, persisting the build results in GIT and then incorporating them as 'sources' for the build.

For my personal interest, what is Acceleo model and what do you use it for?
(I know and used AQL queries, but not Acceleo model)

Hi,

Did you modify the build.properties file of your project ?
You might have forgot to select some files.

It is Acceleo "Model2Text". I used it to create execute code from the model which is created in sirius graphical editor. The links below are useful to know more about it.
