confusing IToolNativeTypeDelegate policy [message #631051]

The default policy for a programmatically created module [

module = new EolModule();
try {
module.parse(eolSource);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

module.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(emf);

] is to resolve only class path native types. Thus, something like [ http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/articles/call-java-fr om-epsilon/] cannot be reproduced. I had to use the following workaround: [
List<IToolNativeTypeDelegate> delegates = module.getContext().getNativeTypeDelegates();
delegates.add(new ExtensionPointToolNativeTypeDelegate());
module.getContext().setNativeTypeDelegates(delegates);
]

It seems there is no reason at all to not include ExtensionPointToolNativeTypeDelegate() by default.

Hi,

The main reason why we're not including an
ExtensionPointToolNativeTypeDelegate in the default module configuration
is that it is Eclipse-specific. Our intention is to keep the core of
Epsilon free from any dependencies to Eclipse so that it can also be
used in plain Java applications.

Cheers,
Dimitris

I would suggest mentioning this somewhere in the documentation.

This makes sense. Could you please file an enhancement request for this
in the bugzilla?

Cheers,
