I would like to create a hutn file from an existing .ecore model. I
could not find any menu entry where I could invoke the bridge.

Thanks

Enrico

Hi Enrico,

I don't think there's such a menu entry. Could you please file an
enhancement request for this? Off the top of my head, I think a
workaround is to rename the .ecore into .model and then create a .hutn
out of it.

Cheers,
Dimitris

You can also create a new .hutn file which is initially empty and add the following:

@Spec {
metamodel "yourModelNamespaceName" {
nsUri: "yourModelNamespaceName"
}
}

package {
YourTopLevelModel "YourTopLevelModel1" {
//
}
}

Then right-click on the .hutn file and select HUTN->Generate Model.

Make sure you right-click on the .ecore file and select Register EPackages, otherwise you will get errors in your .hutn about the metamodel not being found.

I noticed that the current version of epsilon does have an HUTN context menu item to generate an hutn instance from a previous emf xmi instance. This worked well for me.

The conversion program apparently expects your xmi model instance to have suffix .model, so you need to rename your xmi file with that suffix, then right click on it in the browser and select the HUTN generation from the context menu.

After previously trying to guess the correct format, this was very helpful in converting a large hutn example that I could evaluate. Nice...

Is it possible to do this in a standalone context as well?
If so, can you point me to an example on how to load an existing model and then save the model as HUTN, using Java?

Hi,

The code behind the right-click action mentioned by Jay in the previous message should be a good starting point for your investigation

https://git.eclipse.org/c/epsilon/org.eclipse.epsilon.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.epsilon.hutn.dt/src/org/eclipse/epsilon/hutn/dt/actions/GenerateModelAction.java

Cheers,
Dimitris
