Ecore in on MAC OS X [message #428496]

Hello

I have a Mac macine running MacOS X 1.5.6.
I downloaded fresh version of Eclipse Ganymede (Modelling Package).

Every time i try to open any .ecore file I get 3 exceptions
(featurenotfoundexception):

feature 'ecore' not found
feature 'xmi' not found
feature 'xsi' not found

This disables any possible work with GMF and EMF for me as those file are
not opened at all.
I tried the same distro in VM on Windows and it worked just fine.
I tried changing Java Version from default 1.5 to 1.6 (that 64-bit
version) but nothing seems to help.

Any idea? It's already my 3rd day trying to make it work and no success.

Thanks a lot and have a grreat day!

Tomas

Hi Tomi,

I am running eclipse 3.4 and 3.5M6 without problems on exactly the same
OSX version. (Including all EMF and GMF dependencies).

It seems your installation is broken somehow:

why don't you grab an eclipse distro with EMF pre-packaged? (Sorry if
you done so already).

here is one:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/epp/downloads/release/ganymede/SR2/eclipse-modeling-ganym ede-SR2-incubation-macosx-carbon.tar.gz

BTW, What I tend to do now, is not to use the update manager. (At least
not for 3.5), but rather download the plugins by hand and unzip them in
the /dropins folder of eclipse. This gives me the flexibility to
"upgrade" plugins in a more controlled way and get the latest goodies...

- So get the latest 3.5M6.
- download the plugins and dependencies in .zip format (Latest plugins -
of EMF/GMF).
- create a folder in /dropins for each .zip and unpack there.
- launch eclipse
- help->about eclipse->installation details->installed softeware, check
all your plugins are loaded.

hope this helps.

Hey

I finally solved the issue. There was no possibility that someone could
help me out on this. I was experimenting before with Collada (graphical
tranport format) which required some advanced XML processors which I left
in the Extensions folder of Java. Evidently this made mess that was
disabling correct parsing of the XML files.

I went through hell to find it out.
I ended up downloading source files of EMF and debugging it.
There i noticed that the methods of EMF work fine but the XML is parsed
incorrectly .. and from there it was just a step to solve it.

Ufff

3 days ;(
