Hello everybody,
I extended the Diagram because I need to introduce some additional
references.
Is it possible to hook the new "MyDiagram" EClass by means of the tooling?
The only point I could think of is in the .gmfgen - the Diagram Element /
Diagram Run Time Class
property of the "Gen Diagram XXXEditPart" .
I loaded my new notational .ecore in the .gmfgen and expected the new
"MyDiagram" type to
appear as a choice in the said "Diagram Run Time Class" combo. It didn't,
however : (
Whet is the right way to hook a new Diagram notation type to the generated
editor?
By the way, in that "Diagram Run Time Class" combo one can choose between
the
Ecore types ( EClassifier, EObject ...) and notation types ( View, Edge
....).
Isn't this misleading? Does "Diagram Run Time Class" mean the ruin-time
class of
the semantic element or the view element?
Cheers,
Theo

Not so fast with champagne... The .gmfgen accepts and validates the notation
extension but the editors generated by the .gmfgen with :
1) Diagram Run Time Class = Diagram-> View
and
2) Diagram Run Time Class = MyDiagram-> Diagram
are identical byte by byte.
I expected that XXXDiagramViewFactory.createDiagram( ...) would be
overriden...
I guess I will have to face the truth :) - apparently such a feature simply
isn'i supported yet and "Diagram Run Time Class" is just a placeholder
Good luck, Theo
