Opening .ecorediagram diagrams in Luna?? [message #1405809]

Hello,

We are currently migrating our tools suite to the Luna release. Part of it are numerous .ecorediagram files. Is there any way to open these diagrams in Luna. Recreating these diagrams would be a lot of work, which blocks us in migrating to Luna.

Great that a new (better) tool is created to create new ecore-diagrams. But how about support for the old users out of the box:
- A way to open the old editors, that is, .ecorediagram files, and/or
- Migration of old diagrams to the new editor.

Kind regards,
Rolf

Installing version 1.2.0 of ecore tools from the update site
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emft/ecoretools/updates/1.2/201306071421, results in the following error:

Running the current head from git in Luna does allow open the .ecorediagram files, although the editor is not registered for the .ecorediagram files:
To open the files:

Open With > Other ... > Ecore Diagram Editor

Can somebody release a version of the 1.2 tool version that is compatible with the installed 2.0 version, such that both can be used in parallel?

Installing from the 2.0.0 update site includes an option to install the legacy 1.2 component:

http://download.eclipse.org/ecoretools/updates/releases/2.0.0/luna

A note on the FAQ would have been helpful.

Hi Rolf, i think i have a solution for migrating ecorediag to aird.

Create a new Eclipse modeling project in Eclipse Luna then import your old project with ecorediag models in Eclipse Luna.

In the new Eclipse Modeling project open the ecore file (double click on it) and it opens in the panel. Right click on it and chose Load resources, chose "From workspace" and navigate to the old Eclipse project and chose the ecorediag file you want to migrate.

Now you will have in the panel two ecore files, the new one and the old one.

Just drag and drop all the classes from the old one to the new one.

After that open the diagram panel and chose on the Palette "Add" it will open a window from where you can chose the newly imported classes, just mark them all and they will populate the diagram.

You will loos all the elements positions but all the relations would be there.

Be aware if you have lots of elements ( i have few hundreds) the diagram navigation will be very slow.

Hope it helps.

Hi.

I've downloaded the new Eclipse 4.5 modeling distribution, and the 1.2 legacy component repackaged for Mars is not available.

Was this made on purpose?

Indeed, this was removed and has been announced one year in advance through :
https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg10946.html after a deprecation declared during the Luna release : https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.emft.ecoretools/releases/2.0.0

It is still available from the older releases though.
