Attached is a simple ecore model (and its diagram, and emf). I can create .model instances of this (example crews1.model attached), and populate the model with exeed editor, however, there are several oddities:
1) when I right click on the root object 'asset', I can only see childs: 'equipment', 'task', 'zone', and not 'equipTaskUse'. Would 'equipTaskUse' also need to be a subtype of 'item' so that I could also create instances of it?
2) I am puzzled that the way I see properties for the instances of 'equipment' and for 'task' does not seem symmetric. If I've created an instance of 'equipment', I can see the attribute: "equipname", while for instances of 'task' I can see attributes: "taskID", "taskname", "uses". Why can I see 'uses'for task, and not 'performs' for equipment?
3) In 'equipment', attribute 'equipname' actually appears as "Equip Name" in properties view. Also for 'task' attributes actually appear as "Task ID", "Task Name", "Uses" - note capitalisations and word splits. Why is this?
Thanks.

Hi Julian,

Either this, or you could add another val reference e.g.
val equipTaskUse[*] equipTaskUses;
> 2) I am puzzled that the way I see properties for the instances of 'equipment' and for 'task' does not seem symmetric. If I've created an instance of 'equipment', I can see the attribute: "equipname", while for instances of 'task' I can see attributes: "taskID", "taskname", "uses". Why can I see 'uses'for task, and not 'performs' for equipment?
This appears to be consistent with your metamodel (crews.emf).

EMF does this automatically to improve usability (it only affects presentation).
Cheers,
Dimitris
