Programmatically adding elements to a Representation [message #1702209]

Hi all,

I have an ECore-Model and a Representation. When I programmatically manipulate the model, these changes should also be shown in the Representation.
For EReferences, EAttributes, etc. this works fine by default. But for children of EPackages (like EClass or EPackage) the elements are created in the model, but not shown in the Representation. I have to add them manually using the editor. It's the same way when the elements in the model are created manually.*

Is there a way to programmatically create representation elements for elements added to the model?

Thank you
Lukas

*I edited the model in the tree editor, saved it and hit the refresh-button in the Representation.

Hi Lukas,

Are you based on your own modeler or are you using Ecore-tools ?
The Ecore-tools diagram elements are “unsynchronized” (this option can
be specified for each mapping in the *.odesign ) . That means the
representation elements have to be manually added by using the palette
tools.

Regards,

Florian
