Hello,

If I use a metamodel from an external project using:

	<!-- set up EMF for standalone execution -->
	<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" >
		<platformUri value=".."/>
	       <registerEcoreFile value="platform:/resource/ecore2gwt/metamodels/myMM..ecore" /> 
	</bean>


then my editor shows all these red 'error lines' in the .xpt file.
But, if i run the transformation it does work. But still, this is annoying, because if I do make an error, my Problems view reports a bunch of irrelevant errors also, possibly 'hiding' the error i want to catch.

If i copy the metamodel inside the xpand project's metamodel dir, and put comments around the <registerEcoreFile > element, it works. But i would like to keep it external, since i'm still working on the metamodel.

Hope someone can help

Regards,

Marten

The editor will only see *.ecore files which are on the classpath of the
project where you have the templates.
It does not use any information from *.mwe files.

Cheers,
Sven
