(Re)using model elements in other models [message #1479703] Wed, 19 November 2014 12:07 Go to next message

Hi,

i'm thinking about reusing parts of my model in other models.

Let's say I have a class "Entity" where I implemented some basic rules. Now I want to create another new model with a class where I use class "Entity" class as supertype.

When I add entity-ecore to the new ecore by "load resource..." I can archive something like this, but the entity-model-code is generated new in the new project. No custom code is available with this approach - at least not in my usage.

Is there a way use the "Entity" model project (where custom code is included) instead of creating it new?

I appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Philippe

When you create the genmodel for your extension .ecore, you can select
the entity model in the lower table denoted "Referenced Generator
Models", like I did quickly here to illustrate:
