Hey guys,

I am trying to figure out how to resolve the problem mentioned here in the ecore diagram.

Essentially I have a multiplicity-man attribute called item that I want to automatically be serialized under an items element without creating an extra class.

<someObject>
  <items>
    <item>foo</item>
    <item>bar</item>
    <item>baz</item>
  </items>
</someObject>

Is there a way to do this in the ecore diagram editor?

Are you asking how to specify annotations using the diagram editor?

Yes? Lol, perhaps this question sounds dumb then. I tried to find information on annotations as well as metadata and how to specify them but could not get a clear answer.

Do you have a source you can point me to? Or perhaps, if it's not too complex, explain how I would annotate my class to achieve this result?

Thanks

Well, there is support for annotations via the properties view. You do
realize though that nothing in that bugzilla has been committed so none
of it is available in a build at this point, right?
