HowTo split up an Ecore model? [message #416481]

Dear all,
I have modelled an Ecore model that already consists of several
(sub-)Ecore models (initially, by design). Unfortunately one of these
sub-models has grown too big so I would like to split this up, too
(refactoring). But how do I do that? I created a new Ecore model and
tried via copy/paste but this does not work. It seems I cannot copy
Ecore contents at all between Ecore models?!
What to do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
With regards, Morten.

Morten,

You should be able to achieve this by first creating your new Ecore models
on disk. Then open the original model and load the new models into the same
resource set (context menu -> Load Resource...). You should then be able to
drag-drop model elements between the loaded resources. The only proviso, I
believe, is that the new resources will need to contain new packages.

Rgds,

Adrian.
