Controlling ecore file name [message #422236]

Hello all,

I think I'm missing something basic here, and so thought I'd post a question
to the group.

I have 4 model packages as follows:

model.nodeArc
model.nodeArc.flow
model.nodeSegment
model.nodeSegment.flow

The nodeSegment model extends the nodeArc model, and likewise the
nodeSegment.flow model extends the nodeArc.flow model. The two flow models
are dependent on their respective node models. When generating the .ecore
and .genmodel files for these 4 models, EMF defaults the name of the .ecore
file to that of the package. Thus, it seems to want to create:

nodeArc.ecore
flow.ecore
nodeSegment.ecore
flow.ecore

Obviously the two flow.ecore files cannot exist together. Is there a way to
control the name of the .ecore file that gets generated? I'm sure that I
could change package names as a work around, but wanted to avoid this (to
maintain the symmetry in my subpackage structures).

Thanks for any feedback on this,
-Pete

Not in the same folder. Is that what you're doing?

The wizard page that comes up at the end allows you to edit the names of
the .ecore files

Ah yes, of course! This was the missing piece... I thought that table
column was just informational; didn't occur to me to click around in there
and see if the fields were editable (which they certainly are).

Thanks,
