Hi, I'm new to Eclipse.
I have to do a model to model transformation. I have generated the metamodels starting from the UML diagrams, of the source and the target. During the creation of the metamodels if i don't ignore all the options the creation fails. So i have setted "ignore all", Nevertheless after the creation of the metamodels both the .genmodel files has many problems.
I want to generate the model starting from the .ecore file of the source metamodel, so I right click on the root class and after i click "create dynamic instance". The root instance is created. Now I need to add a new child at the root instance, but right clicking on the created instance the "new child" option does not appear.
I am attaching the image related to the attempt to add a new child, as you can see the "add child" option does not appear.

Anyone can help me?
thanks

Questions specifically about importing from UML2 should be asked on the UML2 forum:

Keep in mind that no one can guess details about the structure of your model. If the object's class does not have any containment references then you cannot create children...
