Hello everyone,
I have a problem wiht the generetion step. As usual I have my metamodel in
ecore file and then I create my emf .genmodel and when I set a "base
package" i.e. com.myproject.managers then GMF generates wrong imports. I
give an example:
"import com.myproject.managers.Metamodel.MetamodelCommons;" is generated
and then when has to use some import it is generated:
"return
Metamodel.MetamodelCommons.MetamodelCommonsPackage.eINSTANCE .getMyElement(); "
where MetamodelCommons is a package in .ecore and in the EMF genmodel.
the right import hast to be "import
com.myproject.managers.Metamodel.MetamodelCommons.MetamodelC ommonsPackage; "
because this is actually the interface to be used(from the generated EMF
code)and then simply:
return MetamodelCommonsPackage.eINSTANCE.getMyElement(); When I don't use
the base Package, it generates the imports properly.
Can somebody help me whit this. I'm suffering from this problem too much.
And it is I think Bug in the GMF Jet generation.
Thanks in advance!
Martin

Hi Martin,
If I understand your description correctly, the problem is that the
import statement imports a package name, and not a class name. This is a
known behavior of the GMF generator in some situations. Since there is
no purely semantic way to distinguish between names of packages, classes
and attributes, we employ a heuristics whereas if the name starts with a
lowercase letter, it is assumed to stand for a package, if it is
all-uppercase, it is considered an attribute (with several hardcoded
exceptions, i.e. SWT, NLS and URI), otherwise it is a class/interface.
Your package starts with an uppercase letter, thus failing this heuristics.
I would recommend to change the name of your package to match these
criteria, which do not seem too strict after all.
Best regards,
Boris

Hi Martin,
In my previous post, the word semantic was used where syntactic was meant.
Best regards,
