Hello,

Can someone help me understand how to make categories hierarchical? I'm trying to create a category hierarchy where one category is the parent of the other. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

This is what I have in the plugin.xml at the moment (See also the image "plugin_xml.png" attached):

index.php/fa/43192/0/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.emf.validation.constraintProviders">
      <category
            id="category.parent"
            mandatory="false"
            name="Parent Rules">
		    <category
		       id="category.child"
		       mandatory="false"
		       name="Child Rules">
		 	</category>
      </category>
      <constraintProvider
            cache="true">
         <constraints
               categories="category.parent">
            <constraint
                  id="parent.child"
                  isEnabledByDefault="true"
                  lang="parent.child"
                  mode="Batch"
                  name="ParentConstraint"
                  severity="ERROR"
                  statusCode="parent.child">
               <message>
                  message body text
               </message>
            </constraint>
         </constraints>
         <constraints
               categories="category.child">
            <constraint
                  id="constraint.child"
                  isEnabledByDefault="true"
                  lang="constraint.child"
                  mode="Batch"
                  name="ChildConstraint"
                  severity="ERROR"
                  statusCode="constraint.child">
               <message>
                  message body text
               </message>
            </constraint>
         </constraints>
         <package
               namespaceUri="package">
         </package>
      </constraintProvider>
   </extension>
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.emf.validation.constraintBindings">
      <clientContext
            id="context.default">
         <selector
               class="GuidelinesSelector">
         </selector>
      </clientContext>
      <binding
            category="category.parent"
            context="context.default">
      </binding>
      <binding
            category="category.child"
            context="context.default">
      </binding>
   </extension>

</plugin>

When I run this, only the parent category and it's constraints are shown (See Constraints.png)

Thank you,
Thomas

I'm not sure the people who can answer will notice the questions. They've not enabled discussions but you might open an issue and suggest they enable that for their repo, while asking your question there:
