multiple views of a model [message #95809]

I'm trying to create multiple views of a model with GMF 2.0. Would like
to know if there is any discussion of approaches to do this. I need to
have different views at different levels of the model hierarchy.

I've started by creating a (common) .gmfgraph and .gmftool files. I
then created multiple versions of the .gmfmap and .gmfgen for the two
different views and set the "Package Name Prefix" and "Diagram File
Extension" for each of the views in the .gmfgen files. The problem
comes in that when generating the code, the generator creates the code
packages in the same project (... .diagram) which isn't even the project
that I created as my GMF project! Since it puts both sets of code
packages in the same (plugin) project, only the last generated one is
accessible when running. How do I change this behavior, is there some
property where I can specify which project the generated (GFM) code
packages will be placed?

Hello John,

Try changing plugin id attribute in .gmfgen models: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/GMF_GenModel_Hints#GenPlug in

Take a look at this Tutorial:

I think you have to change mor than the file extension.
