Hello,
I am stuck at a place in my project, so I need your help. I will
explain my use case to u all.
I have an xml file say MyFormDescriptor.xml. It contains a forms tag under
which
I can have as many form tags as I want. <form> tag contains various tags
like <grid>,<repeater>,<error> etc.
I want a way to know at dynamically (at runtime), which form tag has
changed so that I can process the tag likewise.
I decided to use EMF compare for this. I want to know whether there is any
API which can help me to programatically generate an emf model for this
xml file and an API for comparing two instances of the same file on save
event. so as to get the change delta(the tag which got changed).
Thanking you in advance.

Sourabh,
For questions about EMF compare, it's best to use the EMFT newsgroup,
which I've added to the "to" list of the reply, and to prefix your
subject line with [Compare].
This tutorial explains how to generate a model assuming you have a
schema for your XML files:
Tutorial: Generating an EMF Model using XML Schema
< http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/*checkout*/org .eclipse.emf/doc/org.eclipse.emf.doc/tutorials/xlibmod/xlibm od.html>
The compare framework should be able to help you compare two instances
of your model.

Hi,
As Ed said you'll first need to use the EMF-XSD component to generate an EMF
model from an XML Schema.
Then you may use emf compare to compare your models, I started an FAQ on the
wiki for this kind of needs (this link is both for comparison inside or
outside Eclipse)
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF_Compare_FAQ#Is_EMF_Compare.2C_as _EMF.2C_able_to_run_outside_of_Eclispe_.3F
Cheers,
