I created an uml model with papyrus and tried to import it into an emf generated model, but the ecore file generated does not have the associations Crying or Very Sad
i think there is something missing with the associations in the model explorer like a property that i should add to the classes.
I attached a screenshot of an uml exemple with the model explorer.

Hi,

Indeed, the image that you attach shows an association that owns both
of its ends. Because Ecore does not have an explicit model of
associations (EReferences may indicate their opposites), you need the
classes at one or both ends of the association to own the corresponding
property.

The tool that you show in the screenshot is not Papyrus, so I don't
know how to help with that. But in Papyrus, the Properties view makes
it easy to change the ownership of an association end. Select the
association and you will find a pick-list for each end that lets you
choose the Association or the Classifier as the owner (of course, an
association is a classifier, but whatever).

HTH,

Christian

Hmm, sorry, of course that's Papyrus. I just didn't recognize the
Windows UI ...

Hi,

Your classes should own the ends of the association.
- Select the association
- Open the Properties view
- Select the UML tab
- Locate the 'Member End' you want to change,
- Set 'Owner' to 'Classifier' on the end(s) you want to use in ECore.
Both end can be changed.

Hope this help,
Cedric
