Hi again,
in my rule I am trying to add an ESuperType, something like:
u : MOF!EClass
(
name <- 'Composer',
eSuperTypes <- Supertype
)
The problem is that the supertype does not exist in my curent package but on
a remote server, so what I actually want to do is add a kind of reference to
that "remote" EClass.
The ECore file genereated should look like:
.....
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Composer"
eSuperTypes="http://www.remoteaddress/mm.ecore#//Supertype">
.....
</eClassifiers>
....
maybe something like
eSuperTypes <- remoteAddress::Supertype
Is that possible? Do I have to specify the remote model as a "IN" model?
I saw the "Metamodel by URI" option in the eclipse run configuration but I
dont have any concrete input model that is conform to that remote metamodel
(which I think I would have to specify).
Thanks!
Felix.

Hello,
There are several things you can do, for instance:
- use ant tasks, which should allow you to load a source model by URI
(cf., http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/AM3_Ant_Tasks)
- improve the launch config so that it allows "metamodel by uri" also
for models conforming to the metametamodel (e.g., when their metamodel
is #EMF), and submit the patch via bugzilla
- load a dummy model conforming to your "remote" metamodel, so that you
load it as a source metamodel
