Hi,
I am working on a service modelling GMF editor.
As you can see in this screenshot (http://www.slomic.no/upms-light.gif ) the
interfaces (which contains attributes and operations) is represented as
ellipses in this diagram. Now, I want to create a new view of the interface
details, where you can add operations and attributes (properties). Like if
you double click on the interface ellipse you get another graphical
representation of the very same interface, in new empty view. The interface
is now represented as class (rectangle), where you have attribute and
operation compartments. Is this very difficult to manage in GMF? Could you
maybe send me existing code on a feature like this, and tell in words how I
should proceed to solve this.
Thanks, in advance!
Regards Ismar

Hello Alex
I have a question regarding the "Diagram Partitioning" guide you
mentioned: Is step 6 of usecase 2 obligated? I never duplicated the
genmodel and changed the "model name" attribute and it works fine. Why
do I have to do this? Isn't it sufficient to change the "package name
prefix" of the sub-diagram?
Regards,
Stefan

Hello Alex
I am aware of these unique properties. I was just wondering about this
"hacky" part. Thanks!
