Empty properties tab [message #468047]

Dear GMF folks,

I've generated a GMF editor where surprisingly the properties for a
selected node or connection is mainly empty. There is only the
"Appearance" tab where I see the usual appearance properties and the
"Core" tab that is empty. There are none of my metamodel's semantical
attributes in any tab.

I tried the standard EMF tree editor and there everything is fine, all
properties for all elements are there.

Where can I have lost the properties for my GMF editor?

I'd start with checking gmfgen-file. In "Gen Editor Generator xxx" ->
"Property Sheet xxx", there should be tabs for "Appearance", "Rulers &
Grid" and a Custom Property Tab for "Core". This one has an
"Implementation class" attribute, which is the name of the generated class.

This file should be generated into *.diagram.sheet. If it exists, try
setting a breakpoint in "setInput", which should be called whenever
selection in editor is changed.

Hi,

I would suggest to have a look at your *.gmfgen
Go to the attributes that should be visible in your editor and open the
properties view. The 'Property Type' should be set to 'Readonly' or
'Editable'. If its 'None', it won't be visible in the editor.

Another reason could be a problem with the generated code (maybe there
were inconsistent changes in the models). Maybe there are some helpful
hints in the Error Log View of your editor. If so, I would recommend
generating the code from scratch and merge your handmade changes.

Best regards,
Tobias
