Hi,

i changed the EMF Validation Framework Tutorial for GMF implemention.
This work well but now i want to add some Markers on Nodes which fail while Validation.
Maybe a red highlight.

Can somebody tell me how to do this?

Thanks

Hi Sui,

If you don't mind trying a different validation language,
http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/articles/evl-gmf-inte gration/
provides a detailed walk through of how you can achieve this using EVL
(http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/evl/).

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi,

thanks for your reply but i'd would like to do this without this tools.

At the moment, i have a BatchValidator File like in the EMF Validation Framework Example.
In this File, i start the ValidateAction.run() Method which creates Markers an Decoraters from the Diagnostion.
Later i try the same way of creating Decoraters as in the ValidateAction. this should work.

My question now is:
what is the difference between EMF Validation Framework an the Diagnostics Validation?
When i start the ValidateAction.run (programmly or per Edit->validate) this woks well. It also checks the OCL constraints which i did in the GmfMap File.
Now, what is the clue of EMF Validation Framework?
Do I need it ?

I am a little confused.
