.gmfmap syntax changed? [message #74103]

Hi,
since I had a couple of issues with 2.0M2 I thought: let's give the
newest nightly build a try!

But when I attempt to open the .gmfmap file generated by the previous
build the gmfmap editor fails and reports multiple errors that all reads
something like: "FeatureNotFoundException: Feature 'features' not
found. ..."

The error markers are all in lines that read
<features href="leonardo2.ecore#//<sometype>/name"/>

What has changed here? Can one "massage" those files with a text editor
somehow so they will be accepted by the new version?

Michael

Looks like the reason is in recent changes of gmfmap meta-model. To continue
using old .gmfmap file you have to either execute “Migrate to GMF 2.0” popup
menu action for existing .gmfmap (check xmlns:gmfmap="http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/2005/mappings"
specified) or add xsi:type="gmfmap:FeatureLabelMapping" attribute for each
labelMapping:

<labelMappings xsi:type="gmfmap:FeatureLabelMapping" …

Alex,

thanks, this worked - i.e. after the proposed treatment the nightly
build was able to read the .gmfmap file and all .gmf* files validated
fine. Alas, executing the model generator then failed with:

---------------------------------
An internal error occurred during: "Create generator model...".

---------------------------------

:-(

But I guess, since that's not any "official" version but only a nightly
build (from 20061103) I guess there's not much sense in submitting a
bugzilla for this, is there?
