automatically create child nodes [message #514284]

Hello!

In my model I have nodes with output and input ports. I want GMF editor to automatically create those ports, when the user creates a node from the palette.
I have done this in the doExecuteWithResult method of the NodeCreateCommand - I simply use the EMF factory to create them and add them to the parent. This will create the element in the model, but not the corresponding diagram element. When I start the IDE next time, there are no visual representations for the child nodes.

Please advise.

Kind Regards,
Dinko

P.S. I found a code snippet - http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/GMF_Tips#Creating_New_Elem ents_And_Corresponding_Views, but I don't know where to plug this code and how to integrate it.

Actually when I create the Node from the palette, the Output and Input edit parts are created but their visual representation is not persisted in the diagram file. I guess that's because they are created by the node edit part on getChildren and not by a command...

I tried to override getCreate command on my diagram edit part, but in this case the node edit part is not yet created so I cannot get the child creation command from it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dinko

Seems to be bug in GMF generator. (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281014) After removal of the semantic hints in plugin.xml, the problem is gone.
