Nested EPackage in ECore model cannot be imported in XText [message #869356]

Hello,
I'm trying to define a grammar based on several ECore models.

Those models contains nested packages :

 - platform:/resource/model.ecore
    - rootPack
       - some EClasses
       - subPack
          - some Classes

If I'm trying to import thoses models using this way :

import 'platform:/resource/model.ecore'

In my XText grammar, I cannot acces the classes located in the sub Package, only the classes which are defined in the root package are available.

The only way I managed to work this out, is to install my models (and generated plugins) in the workbench and reference the package using their NS_URI.

import 'www.url.org/rootPack'
import 'www.url.org/rootPack/subPack' as subPack

But this way I have classpath issues. And moreover, this is not acceptable beacause I would like to be able to work on my models in the same workspace in which the Xtext project is located.

Any advice on how to accheive that ?

Kind regards,

Charles

Hi,

in general the use of nested epackages is discouraged. same is for the
use of platform:/resource uris - they are deprecated. never the less
something like the folloing should work: import
"platform:/resource/org.xtext.example.mydsl/src/org/xtext/example/mydsl/My.ecore#//subpackage"

Hi,
Thank you very much, your answer was very usefull.

I will take your advice into account, but I don't have the ownership of the metamodel.
