I built a modeler for my first project but there were only 6 element types in the schema so I mapped each element to to a graphical element and added a create tool for each. Works great.
Now I need a modeler for a schema with over 200 element types. I can't afford to do them 1 by 1. I would like a generic mapping that handles any element type and use reflection to determine the attributes and contained elements.
I Also need something generic for the tool set.. maybe a create tool with a drop-down list of element types or something. I am building a diagram with element based edges not a tree.
I've not been able to get the reflection In Acceleo to do what I need I suspect I need to call out to Java.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Rob

It's not the Sirius approach.

The best approach, I imagine, is a "tool" that initializes your VSM
according to your metamodel (1 mapping for each element type, 1 creation
tool for each element type, ...). It is not iterative, but it allows to
initialize the VSM the first time.
