Setting a default implementation for methods [message #1773466]

Hello everyone,

I have made an Ecore for a java project and I have created a "genmodel" file from the Ecore and could generate all java classes from it. The problem that I would have a default implementation "Java code" for some methodes, so that by every changing in my Ecore-file I have not to write the implementation again after a new classes generation.

Any suggest?

Thanks alot!

It is possible with model annotations, but I don't remember details.

Sorry, I wasn't seeing posts because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=525901

You can do it like this:

    <eOperations name="foo">
      <eAnnotations source="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/GenModel">
        <details key="body" value="// &lt;%java.util.Map$Entry%> "/>
      </eAnnotations>
    </eOperations>

The body can be any valid Java and you can use <%a.b.C$D%> to import names...
