Representing nodes from imported model [message #1384822]

Hi,

I've created two metamodels. One metamodel (called 'interfaces') allows definition of interfaces with their operations. The other metamodel (called 'components') allows the definition of components. A component might provide or require interfaces (as defined in the 'interfaces' metamodel).

Using EMFText, I have a textual editor for interfaces models. For components, I would like to realize a Sirius based graphical editor. It should allows the creation of components and associating them with interfaces (defined in other interface models). I'm not necesarily interested in the ability to edit interface models from the graphical editor.

I created an example consisting of a component and two interfaces. I succeed in visualising the component. However, I don't succeed in visualizing the associated interfaces. Is there something special to be done when model elements are originating from a different resource?

Any clue?

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi,

A quick follow up. What I want to achieve is similar to the 'add related elements' functionality of the nowadays standard graphical editor for ecore models. That one is also based on Sirius if I'm right.

Greetings,
Wilbert.

It seems you should improve the semantic candidates expression of your
interface mapping. I see too possibilities: an empty expression (Sirius
should look into all semantic resources of the session for element which
are instances of the mapping's domain class), or create a Java service
to subtly retrieve the associated interface from the diagram/container
semantic element.

Ecore Tools [1] is effectively based on Sirius. You should directly look
into its Git repository [2] to see how the 'add related elements' is
implemented.

See:
. the OperationAction named "Add Related Elements" in the odesign [3]
. the getRelated(views,diagram) service to retrieve the elements
(displayed in a wizard to let the user choose the element to add on the
diagram) [4]
