Drived attributes and custom bodies with EAttribute annotations with OCL [message #1698746]

I am trying to customize the Java API generated from an example Ecore model by using EAnnotations with OCL, but have not managed to see any changes in the generated code.

My class includes a 'Name'-attribute and a 'DerivedName'-attribute with the following annotation:
<eAnnotations source="http://www.eclipse.org/2007/OCL">
<details key="derive" value="self.Name"/>
</eAnnotations>

I have updated the GenModel to use dynamic templates, added the plugin dependencies by adding OCL_ECORE=org.eclipse.ocl.ecore to the Model Plug-in Variables, and tried setting the transient and volatile attributes.

Any pointers to the below would be appreciated?
- documentation on the various eAnnotation-source accessible features and their constraints
- example projects where the EAnnotations are used to do derived attributes and customized bodies with OCL

Hi

I've no idea where you got http://www.eclipse.org/2007/OCL. I'm guessing
that you're following some seriously vintage document.

Follow the OCLinEcore tutorial in the OCL documentation.

Looks like this:

https://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-EMF-Codegen-with-OCL/index.html

Apparently, the entire Eclipse Corner article repository is deprecated.

Cheers,

Christian

Yes. Seems like I took off from some legacy examples and then had an erroneous perception when initially looking into the OCL tutorial.

Managed to create examples and reverse engineer the proper details for driving my example of adding the annotations programmatically.

Thanks.
