Modelling XSD using EMF [message #98546] Mon, 08 October 2007 10:52 Go to next message

Hi there,

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have just begun working with EMF/XSD in eclipse 3.3. I have a set of XSD
schema files that I want to model using EMF. My initial problem was that
installing EMF proved highly problematic, since the 'find and install'
option used sites that pointed the installer to bad URLs. Ultimately I
went to the EMF site itself and downloaded the EMF, SDO, and XSD
All-In-One build (2.4.0M2). I also downloaded 'Models', but I wasn't sure
what to do with that folder since no instructions are provided.

Now, I assume that EMF/SDO/XSD are now installed and working properly.
They are listed in 'About Eclipse Platform -> Plug-in Details';
specifically:
(EMF)
org.eclipse.emf,emf.codegen,emf.codegen.ecore,emf.codegen.ec ore.ui,emf.codegen.ui,
emf.common,emf.common.ui,emf.converter,emf.doc,emf.ecore,emf .ecore.change,
emf.ecore.change.edit,emf.ecore.edit,emf.ecore.editor,emf.ec ore.sdo.doc,emf.ecore.sdo.source,
emf.ecore.xmi,emf.edit,emf.edit.ui,emf.examples,emf.examples .library,emf.examples.library.edit,
emf.examples.library.editor,emf.exporter,emf.exporter.html,e mf.importer,emf.importer.ecore,
emf.importer.java,emf.importer.rose,emf.java,emf.java.edit,e mf.java.editor,emf.mapping,
emf.mapping.ecore,emf.mapping.ecore.editor,emf.mapping.ecore 2ecore,emf.mapping.ecore2ecore.editor,
emf.mapping.ecore2xml,emf.mapping.ecore2xml.ui,emf.mapping.u i,emf.source
(XSD)
org.eclipse.xsd.doc,xsd.ecore.converter,xsd.mapping,xsd.mapp ing.editor,xsd.source

(Apologies for the format of this 'dump', I'm new to eclipse and I haven't
figured out how to get a proper dump of installed plug-ins yet.)

I've looked in 'Help -> Manage Configuration' and these plugins seem to be
working properly.

My problem is that I want to essentially follow the tutorial here:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/docs/2.x/tutorials/xlibm od/xlibmod_emf2.0.html
or, more specifically, I want to open a new project by doing 'New ->
Project: Eclipse Modeling Framework -> EMF Project' and select something
like 'Load from XSD'. But I can't do this because when the 'Select a Model
Importer' screen appears, the only two options are: 'Ecore model' and
'Rose class model'.

So, do I have everything I need installed? How do I get the XSD Model
importer option to appear? I downloaded 'Models' from
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/downloads/?project=emf, where do I
install them? (If this is my problem.)

Apologies if any of this is obvious, but I have spent a long time on it
myself, and I haven't had any joy.

Thanks again,
Mark

I sorted the problem by doing a complete re-install, and the auto updater
worked this time (slow as hell, but it worked). Not sure what the problem
was. Maybe it was the fact I confined myself to Europa repositories only
this time.

Mark,

EMF/XSD 2.4 relies on Eclipse 3.4. So for Eclipse 3.3, you should be
using EMF/XSD 2.3.
