Hi all
I try to - in my view - slightly modify the code generation of the plain vanilla EMF ecore / codegen products. But I do not seem to get anywhere. there is always something either not working as expected, or - more frequently - not working at all.
I aim to:
- create a gen model that offers many fewer editable options (I don't want my developers to be able to make mistakes here) with our desired code-gen setup hardcoded
- change code generation to generate the model implementation into a bundle separate from the interface
- add to all model parts (EClass, EPackage, etc) a first class 'documentation' attribute that is meant to contain all documentation.
I have tried many approaches but seem to drift towards duplicating / subclassing most every part of the framework (i.e. the gen model, the org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore.genmodel.generator.GenModelGen eratorAdapterFactory, etc)
My question: am I missing something here, or am I on the right track to obtain the effects I want?
thanks in advance for any feedback
/stefan

You don't need a new GenModel, just your own editor with your own views,
right?

You'll have problems with XyzPackage/XyzFactory eINSTANCE needing to
refer to the implementation.

There is already support for a documentation annotation; see
EcoreUtil.getDocumentation.

It's best to ask about EMF things on the EMF newsgroup.
