Hi ed,
I have another question. If im going to develop a simple application, about a hotel. I have some classes in EMF, like room class, client class,etc.
Can you enumerate the steps to have mi final application running (.jar file)??
1) I modeled the program.
2) generate code from it.
3) i will have to manually add some code, right? And regenerate mi model if needed
3)and now? I have tu use emf forms, to build an UI form, i think.
4) which other tool from Eclipse modeling project do i have to use, to finish my program? I also want a mysql database to store al the hotel information
Im asking this to learn the way model driven development is approached in eclipse.
Im new in this, im looking at tutorials. Also i bought your book about EMF, im still reading.
there are not any good book about this, either tutorials
Sorry my bad english.
appreciate your response on this 
Matias.

Be sure to give them names that will also look nice in Java, e.g.,
RoomClass.

Well, you modeled the data representation...

Including the editor, that's a complete sample application.

Not necessarily.

If you want it to be pretty, otherwise you'll get something basic like
the Sample Ecore Editor.

Teneo or CDO will be of interest.

No, but it's all open source, so you can always look at how other things
that look cool have been implemented.

Hi !
Im working on a comic shop application. I have defined many Ecore classes like client, shop, purchase, item, etc. Should I make a constructor method (Eoperation) for every class, to set all attributes at once ? Or EMF provides something to do this automatically.
For example, in client class i have atributes like name, surname, adress. I want my main program to create a client object. using parameters. Something like
Client client= ComicFactory.eINSTANCE.createClient("matias", "munoz","Saavedra 565");
other way will be (but i want to know if the first example is possible before trying this)
Client client= ComicFactory.eINSTANCE.createClient();
client.setAllAtributes("matias","munoz","Saavedra 565");

There is no need, and certainly there's only a default constructor and
no automatic way to generate any other constructor.

No.

You'd need to create such convenience methods manually.

Better just to use the individual setters, but of course you can
manually add whatever seems handy to you.
Keep in mind not to mess with the default constructor or the default
factory methods; those are needed to support things like deserialization
and copying.

thanks you so much Ed,
I want to ask you something else,
1) When i model in EMF, i can add restrictions to my data model. For example, i can add a Reference with 0..2 multiplicity, if that reference has 3 elements instead of 2, is an invalid situation, or an error.
I Know that using the Ecore Sample Editor i can right click and validate, to know if there is something wrong. But how can i validate from my code? Is there any method that check all instances of my objects and references, and shows if something is invalid ?
2) Is possible to use my model and the Ecore sample editor, in a standalone application? I want to create a .jar file, that opens my editor, load and edit instances of my model, and finally save them, in a persistance file.
Sorry for my english
and thanks again for your time helping me

It's checked by the validator, it's not a state that's prevented from
existing.

org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.Diagnostician.validate(EObject)

You can look at
org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.action.ValidateAction.validate(IProgressMonitor)
to see how it visits multiple objects to validate them all.
