Jens,
This tutorial shows how to generate code from an XML Schema:
< http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibmod.html>
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibmod.html
The same steps, but choosing early in the wizard that you want to load
from UML as opposed to XML Schema, should do the trick.

Hi, Ed, Jens,
Importing your genmodel from UML gives you the benefit of certain
codegen extensions provided by UML2 to handle metamodeling constructs of
CMOF that EMOF (hence Ecore) does not implement: subsetting and
redefinition. Also, a handy foreign-method pattern for implementing
operations.
Say, Ed, on that subject: UML2's operations pattern is not UML-specific
but is quite convenient for models that employ multiple inheritance.
Have you considered adopting that pattern into EMF's codegen?
Cheers,

Christian,
I'm not sure what you mean by the operations pattern? Is this something
to do with defining static methods and delegating to them? (EMF
supports operations with bodies that handles multiple inheritance quite
reasonably...)

Yes, that's what I was referring to. It serves the need of localizing
changes to a single implementation and also helps "purists" to keep Java

Oo! Great.
I forgot to mention, also, the support for caching derived properties
using the CacheAdapter. I used to complain about the CacheAdapter a
lot, but I've really warmed to it of late. I'm a convert. :-)

Christian,
If it were an option, and someone else did all the work to
enable/support it, I'd consider that.

That's cool. Maybe James is interested in promoting some code out of
UML2? Otherwise, I can take a look at refactoring the templates. I
think I may be sufficiently motivated ta make the effort. :-) I will
probably come back to the newsgroup with questions.

Hi, Ed,
Yes, that's what I was referring to. It serves the need of localizing
changes to a single implementation and also helps "purists" to keep Java
code out of their models. :-P

Oo! Great.
I forgot to mention, also, the support for caching derived properties
using the CacheAdapter. I used to complain about the CacheAdapter a
lot, but I've really warmed to it of late. I'm a convert. :-)

Christian,
If it were an option, and someone else did all the work to
enable/support it, I'd consider that.

Hi, Ed,
That's cool. Maybe James is interested in promoting some code out of
UML2? Otherwise, I can take a look at refactoring the templates. I
think I may be sufficiently motivated ta make the effort. :-) I will
probably come back to the newsgroup with questions.
