Reconcile gmfmap from changed ecore file [message #222718]

Hello everyone!

Is there any way to apply changes in the ecore-model to the gmfmap without
having to change everything manually?

What I can do:
1. add a new Type in xsd-file
2. apply changes to genmodel and ecore (using "Reload..." on genmodel)
3. apply changes to gmfgraph (using "Reconcile Graphical Definition Model")
4. apply changes to gmftool (using "Reconcile Tooling Definition Model")

What I would like to do then:
5. apply changes to gmfmap, so that I don't have to add the Node Mapping
by hand. Maybe something like a "Reconcile Mapping Model"-wizard?

Is there anything like this?
How are changes in the Ecore Model handled usually?

Thanks, Peter

Here is an example of a process, capable of roundtip :

Thanks,

I will for sure give this a look.
Is there any other way to accomplish this? Is the mapping usually
maintained by hand?

Yes. We are usiually modifying all GMF models manually.

Hello Peter,

one alternative possibility is to use lightweight sketch models instead of
graph, tooling and mapping models.
After ecore changes one simply adapts the sketch model, regenerates the
gmfgen model from it and merges the changes manually. Not that UI-driven,
but less subsequent efforts.
AFAIR you can find the sketch model support in the Experimental SDK.

Regards

Axel
