Hi,
I like to learn how to use sirius, so i started with this Tutorial( https://wiki.eclipse.org/Sirius/Tutorials/StarterTutorial#Start_creating_a_diagram_editor_with_Sirius ) I followed the instructions but could not manage to get it to work.
As you can see, in th escreenshot, i can not select a Viewpoint. Even though the VSM ist placed in my workspace. and as far as i understood, thats the only reqieremnt for showing up in the viewpoint selection screen.
Any idea how i could fix it? if you need more information about my installtion, dont hesitate to ask, because im not sure what information you need to help me:)
And on another Note my basifamily.sample does not show up in the model explorer as it does in the tutoiral. I can just open it with the texteditor. How can i make it look like in the tutorial?
Thanks for your answers:)

Hi,
Can you check in your VSM (odesign file) if on the viewpoint element,
the field "Model File Extension" is properly to "basicfamily" like on
this picture https://wiki.eclipse.org/images/c/c2/Sirius_4mtuto_17.png .
In your sample, the example.basicfamily icon file does not have the "M"
decorator. I think that your modeling project is not referencing
example.basicfamily as a semantic model. Can you right click on the
Project Dependencies/Add model/Browse Workspace and select it?
How did you create the basicfamily sample? Did you use the creation wizard?
Regards,
Steve

The plug-ins which implement the metamodel must be *installed* in the
running Eclipse for Sirius to work. From the look of your screenshot,
you have imported the sources of these plug-ins into your workspace, but
that is not enough.
EMF (and thus Sirius) can not make sense of the contents of
"example.basicfamly" if the metamodel plug-ins are not
deployed/installed in the running Eclipse.
In the tutorial, once you have imported the metamodel plug-ins, the next
step is to launch a separate Eclipse runtime
(https://wiki.eclipse.org/Sirius/Tutorials/StarterTutorial#Launch_a_new_runtime_from_your_Eclipse)
from which the rest of the tutorial is done. In that "slave instance" of
Eclipse, the metamodel plug-ins are available and "example.basicfamly"
can be recognized as an EMF model and loaded as such.
Note that this step (launching a secondary Eclipse) is only needed when
testing/developing your Sirius-based modelers for a metamodel not
already installed. End-users of a Sirius-based modeler do not have to go
through this.
Regards,
Pierre-Charles

Thanks for your help, steve and pierre.
I checked the advices you gave me and and started the tutorial again from the beginning. And i have a new problem. Because when i try to launch a new runtime from eclipse the option for that is missing. so if i go to Run / Run Configurations and i want to select eclipse Application, i cant. It just looks like the screenshot i uploaded.
Do I have to install a package or why does it not appear?
I'm sorry to bother you with such "stupid" questions. But i dont know where else to ask.

From the screenshot, I'd say you are using an Eclipse installation
which does not contain PDE (the Eclipse Plug-in Development
Environment). Both metamodel projects and Sirius modeler definitions are
not just Java projects, but Eclipse plug-in project. You'll need the
corresponding tooling to work with them.
You can find it in the "General Purpose Tools" category of the main
Eclipse update-site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars if you
are using Eclipse Mars). Or you can install the "Eclipse Modeling Tools"
package, which already contains it and also has some common modeling tools.
Once you have PDE installed, you'll see new types of "run
configurations" available, including "Eclipse Application" which will
launch a "slave" Eclipse from your development environment.
