[QVTo] Use of extended metamodels in transformations [message #635686]

Hi all,

my problem is related to extended metamodels. Let's suppose that I
have defined a metamodel by extending another existing one. When I open
the extended metamodel, the ecore editor shows a structure similar to
the following one:

platform:/resource/extended.ecore
|-- extended (package)
|--- ClassA
containedElements: ClassB (0..*) reference
platform:/resource/base.ecore
|-- base (package)
|--- ClassB

You can also see that ClassA contains 0 or more elements of kind ClassB.

The header of the transformation is the following one:

transformation Source2Extended(in inModel:source, out outModel:
extended);
modeltype source uses 'http://Source.ecore';
modeltype extended uses 'http://Extended.ecore';

that is, the extended metamodel is the output of the transformation.

My problem is that although metamodels are recognized by QVT, I cannot
navigate to ClassB. It seems as if the base package has disappear.

Can anyone give me a hint on how to access to the elements in the base
package?

Thanks in advance,
Toñi

Hi,

I solved the question by adding a modeltype sentence similar to the
following one:

modeltype base uses 'http://base.ecore';
