Access an EMF package from the Ecore file. [message #1070760]

Hello,

I am trying to access an EPackage from a file as the EMF Eclipse Modeling Framework Second Edition shows us on page 422. The twist is that I am trying to do it in a standalone environment (from a main() method). I'm tring to run the following in a main:


try
{
    File f = new File("C:/Users/awhelan/WDW.ecore");
    /*		 
    Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap()
                 .put("xml", new XMLResourceFactoryImpl());
    Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("com.blah", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl());
    */
    URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI(f.getAbsolutePath());
    Resource resource = new XMIResourceFactoryImpl().createResource(fileURI);	    
    ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl(); 
    Resource resource1 = resourceSet.getResource(fileURI, true);
    EPackage wdwPackage = (EPackage)resource1.getContents().get(0);
}catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The two commented out Resource.Factory.Registry... statements don't make a difference. The namespace URI of the Ecore file is nsURI="com.blah". I get the following exception trace when I try to run the above code in this standalone environment. Any ideas?

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'file:/C:/Users/awhelan/WDW.ecore'; a registered resource factory is needed
at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl.getResource(ResourceSetImpl.java:403)
at com.src.ewir.wdw.dynamicpackage.DynamicPackage.main(DynamicPackage.java:87)

You're Ecore resources use "ecore" though, so do you register
EcoreResourceFactoryImpl for that?

What's this?

Because you're not loading resources with those file extensions...

EcoreResourceFactoryImpl should be registered to handle "ecore" extension.

Thanks for your help.

The following loads without error.

File f = new File("C:/Users/awhelan/WDW.ecore");
URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI(f.getAbsolutePath());
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("ecore", new EcoreResourceFactoryImpl ());
			
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl(); 
Resource resource1 = resourceSet.getResource(fileURI, true);
EPackage wdwPackage = (EPackage)resource1.getContents().get(0);
