Hello,
I have a node called Data with two attributes: name and dataEntry
List<String>,and I want the node shown in the Graphical editor looks like
this:
____________
DataName |
____________|
DataEntry1 |
DataEntry2 |
DataEntry3 |
... |
____________|

Actually, a rectangle which show two attributes in two separate part, and
the DataEntry attributes can be shown in the form of list.How to set this
in .gmfgraph?

Thanks a lot!

Ye

Hello ye,

Unfortunately for now you can use only EClass instances as a domain model
element in NodeMapping. So, you can "wrap" these strings into EClasse and
create containment reference from "Data" EClass to this one. As a result
you'll be able to map DataEntry to a subnode of Data node and work with DataEntries
just like with "EAttributes" in EClass on Ecore sample diagram.
