Hi guys,

I'd like to get a XSD from an Ecore model.
Reading the other threads I found that I could get it doing *.genmodel >> Export Model... but when I do it I see an empty list of Model Exporters and an error message "There are no model exporters available".
Anyone know what is missing?

Hi José,

I think you need to create a genmodel for your ecore model (New EMF
Model, model importer) and set a property somewhere in the genmodel
called "Export Schema" or so. Then generate the genmodel.

Hi,

the genmodel property is called "Generate Schema". It is located in the
Model section in the Properties View of the genmodel.

If Generate Schema is set to true and you invoke Generate Model
Code on the genmodel an XML schema file is generated for every
package in the ecore model - if I remember correctly.

Regards,
Reinhold

Reinhold,

There are actually two ways to get a schema to pop out. One is the one
you describe, which only generates the older XMI style schema. The
other is to use the export framework, which is more extensible, and
supports exporting to either an XML Schema or an XMI Schema (as well as
UML2 if you have that installed). Both techniques require the
installation of the XSD plugins since the XMI/XSD builder are part of
the XSD feature. So it sounds to me like Jose didn't install XSD.

Reinhold, what you said worked, I got the XSD by setting the property and generating the model code. But I thought I would have to use the *.genmodel >> Export Model... , then I did it and I still get the message "There are no model exporters available". Why isn't there any model exporter there yet?

Thanks!
Jose Carlos

I installed XSD, that's not the problem. There's something else missing.

Jose,

The exporters should be available by virtue of having installed them as
part of XSD. I.e., the org.eclipse.xsd.ecore.exporter*.jar plugin
should be in your installation. Is that present?

You're right, I had only org.eclipse.xsd and org.eclipse.xsd.edit, now I installed the other plugins.
Thanks a lot!
