EMF Outline-View in GMF editor [message #208539]

Hey Guys,

is it possible the outline-view of the EMF editor to integrate in the GMF
editor?

I need a detail completion, please.

My intention is:

Not all elements in the ecore-model should be visible in the DiagramEditor.

For example:
I create a consumer with some providing software.
The software element has some descriptions (e.g. business for price and
payment). But this elements of descriptions and these childs should be
invisible.

My idea is to show an outline-view to create and to edit this elements and
these childs.

Ecore-Model (all references are containment):

+ Root
+ consumer [0..*] : Consumer

+ Consumer
+ useSoftware [1..*] : Software
+ provideSoftware [1..*] : Software
+ ...

+ Software -> Descritpion
+ Name [1] : EString
+ ...

+ Description
+ businessDescription [1..*] : Business
+ ratingDescription [1..*] : Rating
+ ...

+ Business
+ prices [1..*] : Price
+ payment [1] : EnumPayment

+ Rating
+ expertRating [0..*] : EString
+ userRating [0..*] : EString

+ Price
+ amount [1] : EFloat
+ currency [1] : EnumCurrency

+ EnumPayment
+ Cash
+ CreditCard
+ ...

+ EnumCurrency
+ Euro
+ Dollar
+ ...

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

concerning the outline view itself, you should have a look on the thread
"emf tree in outline view", using the combined outline view from
EcoreTools for this [1]. Integrating this into your GMF editor should be
really simple, however, I'm not sure if this still works in GMF 2.1.

Concerning the filtering of the elements to be shown: You can use the
EMF genmodel file to determine which elements (child elements and
attributes) to show and which to hide.

Regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

thanks for the link.

But I can't it use, because I have a restriction of application and
plug-in version:

Eclipse 3.3.2
GMF 2.0.2
EMF 2.3.2
GEF 3.3.2
...

Have you another idea?

BTW, is the EcoreTools also available for EMF editor? Just I guess not the
ecore-outline but the generated model-editor.

Regards,
Sebastian

I have used the same versions with the solution provided in the bugzilla
entry https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206778 . It contains
a patch against the GMF editor/generator plugins and will integrate a
model oriented outline view like the one from EcoreTools into your own
editor.

Enrico

Hi Enrico,

thanks for your post.

But I don't know what I have to do to use this solution?

I have downloaded the attachment "Model oriented outline plugin" and what
can I do with the "patch" and how?

I didn't anything before.

Do you have a short example or step-by-step description?

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hey Guys,

I found a good and simple example [1] provided by urs zeidler.

But why I can't edit (add, delete, ...) the elements in the treeview?

In the outline-treeview of EMF editor can I do this.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi,

how can I modify the "createEMFMenu" method?

I need Create Child, Create Sibling and Delete.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

I have modified the solution to support both create methods and delete,
copy and paste as well as drag'n'drop to change the ordering within a
list. Currently I don't have the time to create a patch new against the
CVS, but I could send you the plugins as they are.
