Hi,
I am trying to build an application in which there is an EClass which has
an EReference to itself. For e.g.
Fruit(EClass)
|--->name(EAttribute)(EType is EString)
|--->otherFruits(EReference) (and its EType is Fruit)
Basically what I want is when i drop a node FRUIT on GMF Editor, then its
OTHERFRUITS property should show list of other FRUIT nodes already
present. But when i am implementing it actually, only NAME property is
coming up in properties view not OTHERFRUITS property. What shall I do?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Akansha

Another Idea: In your .edit plugin, you can change the method
addTypePropertyDescriptor of class OperationItemProvider and overwrite
the method getComboBoxObjects of the created ItemPropertyDescriptor. I
am not sure how exactly to do this, but this way you could add all the
Type elements to the list, as well as a number of fixed types --
however, this way the attribute Operation.type would have to be of type
String or Object...
Hope this helps,

I think you should have a look at how this was realized in the EMF ecore
editor, since there you have exactly the same functionality: A dropdown
list featuring a number of predefined classes (such as EObject, EEList,
EJavaObject, ...) and your own classes. I think, they are using Strings
as representation for these, and not references to the actual objects.
Maybe you can build upon this...
