Loading models in GMF [message #119400]

Hey folks,

can somebody tell me where GMF loads the EMF model? I want to modify the
generated editor
in such a way, that it is able to show diagrams dynamically from a emf model
which is allready in memory.
The thing is, that I don't want a file which holds the model information and
a file holding the visual information
(like it is now). It would be great if I just can say: "Here's the modell,
show it in diagram mode".

Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

I think, the best solution is to implement Resource.Factory interface "loading"
EMF instnces from memory, register this factory in EMF and then Create URIEditorInput
with corresponding URI and pass it to GMF. I think this should work..

Otherwise you should change a lot in the generated code.. Generated ???DocumentProvider
responsible for loading EMF instances from the inoput object.

Hi Alex,

sounds great - I think I have to take a closer look at that interface and
the
other classes you told me to. Do you know where to find more information on
how to register my factory?

Greetings,
Andreas

In EMF documentation or code.. You have to use following extension point
to register your factory: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser
