Hello all,

I have an static profile. I have generated the EMF project from my profile
and I have generated the editor code. This editor does not allow me to
create child elements of my profile.

Has anyone tried to do this or anyone has an idea about it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Hernandez,

Instances of stereotypes or stereotype applications can't exist on their
own. They are intended to extend other meta types and, for example, the
base_XXX property would need to be set.

I believe that instead of creating an editor for your static profile, you
really want to create instances of meta types and then apply the stereotype.

For example, if you created a stereotype called "MyClass" that extended
uml::Class. You probably want to create an editor that had a menu item to
create a uml::Class with the "MyClass" stereotype applied as opposed to just
creating an instance of the stereotype "MyClass" - which is what you would
get if you used the automatically generated editor from the static profile.
