Only a type can be imported. [message #990161]

Hi,

when I generate my diagram code I get some strange errors:

the import declaration I get errors:

import eastadl21.EAST_ADL.Infrastructure;

Only a type can be imported. eastadl21.EAST_ADL.Infrastructure resolves to a package

Infrastructure is a Package in my Ecore.

And in the code the elements can not be resolved:

myFeaturesToSynchronize.add(Infrastructure.Elements.ElementsPackage.eINSTANCE.getEAPackage_Element());

Infrastructure cannot be resolved

So, I have to manually resolve the problems... that's not practical for me. Do I really have to change the generation templates to get the imports working?! Or is there a workaround?

Thanks

Matthias,

You don't provide much information about your model, but please be sure
to respect Java naming conventions in your Ecore model. I.e., use Camel
case names and ensure that class names start with an upper case letter
and that package names start with a lower case letter. Be sure to avoid
ever having a package name and a class name be the same (which of course
can't ever happen if you follow the conventions).

Hi Ed, thanks for your answer.

I solved it by setting the Package's names in my Ecore to lowercase.

Thanks
