Beginner-Unable to show Viewpoint in Viewpoints Selection [message #1489607]

Hi all,

I am new to Sirius. I tried to create a new model designer from scratch but to no avail. Here is what I did.

-Downloaded Eclipse modeling for Luna.

-Installed "Sirius Specification Environment" from Luna update site.

-Created a blank workspace

-Created a new "Ecore Modeling Project" called "test.mymodel" and in "Design" Viewpoint draw a model called "mymodel". Mymodel has 3 classes "Model", "Entity" and "Field". Each one has a "name" attribute which is EString. Model has Entities and Entities have Fields. At this point I have mymodel.ecore and mymodel.genmodel.

-Created a new "Viewpoint Specification Project" called "test.designer" with "mymodel.odesign" file.

-Created a new "Viewpoint" under mymodel with id "My Viewpoint" and "mymodel" file extension.

-Created a new "Diagram Description" under "My Viewpoint" with id "My Diagram". At this point I couldn't see any of my ecore classes under "Domain Class". So I closed and re-opened eclipse.

-I could see "mymodel.Model" with auto-completion and assigned "mymodel.Model" to "Domain Class" field of "My Diagram" diagram description.

-Created a blank "Modeling Project" named "test.mymodel.testing" and I right clicked to project and selected "Viewpoint Selection" but Viewpoint Selection was empty.

Now at this point shouldn't I see the newly created "My Viewpoint"?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: Typo

You have to first generate your meta-model ("Entity" Field" etc.) and
deploy it within your environment. Your model is currently a simple
model based on ecore, Diagram Descriptions and all other mappings like
container mappings, node mappings are defined over a meta-model. You
will express that an Entity, for instance, is represented by a
container. Each entity instances will next be visible as a container in
your diagram.

I suggest you to take a look on this tutorial:

Hi,

Thank you for your support. I resolved the problem by generating edit and editor plug-in projects and deploying the generated edit and editor plug-in projects to host repository.

Thank you...
