Hello all,
I'm not able to came across a way to stick a text
label to a connection. I just want to label every
occurrence of the same connection type with the
same piece of text.
I've tried to do this by modifying the .gmfgraph to
have the Figure representing the connection
containing both the Polyline and the Label:
-> Figure Descriptor MyAssociacion
-> Polyline Connection MyAssociation
-> Label MyAssociationLaben
* text = <<MyAssociation>>
I made no changes on neither .gmftool or .gmfgraph.
When I execute the editor the piece of text
"<<MyAssociation>>" appears on the canvas, but always
on the top-left hand side of it, too far away from
the connection; moreover, it isn't possible to move
it around.
I've also been playing with the element Design Label
Mapping as a child of the Link Mapping within the
..gmfmap, mapping it to the Label MyAssociation, but
the generated editor doesn't seem to change in any
way.
I'd be very grateful if someone could give me some hints
on how to go on...
Cheers!
Orlando.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid It doesn't seem to
work by including a DesignLabelMapping, a LabelMapping nor
a FeatureLabelMapping in the .gmfmap model. The generation
of .gmfgen model doesn't show any error; however, the resulting
editor doesn't show any label attached to the connection but
located at the top-left corner of the canvas.
I've even tried to stick a label (showing a metafeature) to a
connection (for example, the association's name, similar to the
taipan example) using the GMF wizards, but didn't work anyway.
I generated .gmfgraph, .gmftool and .gmfmap. given a very simple
ecore metamodel. After including some missing features in .gmfmap
and generating .gmfgen the resulting editor seemed to show the
same malfunctioning.
The main difference between my generated .gmfgen model and
the one from taipan is that the former have InnerClassViewmap
elements where the latter shows FigureViewmap ones. By the
way, I tried to modify my generated .gmfgen model by hand to
make it similar to the one from taipan but didn't work
anyway; after solving some dependencies errors I managed to
compile the editor's code, but when executed it dind't
show the label anyway.
And now I wonder whether the automatic generation of .gmfgen
models is working fine, and whether it is able to create a
suitable .gmfgen for the GMF generator. Perhaps the feature
I'm talking about (sticking a label to a connection) might
have not been included yet in either the .gmfgen generator or
the GMF editors generator. Has someone been able to do what
I'm trying to do without manipulating by hand either .gmfgen
nor the editor code itself?
Cheers!
Orlando
