Why is there an error for * about the data type * not being serializable? [message #1727803]

Newbie question:

I read the EMF book but it seems I missed something.

Why is there an error for ModelAssembler and MathModelInvokeSequence about the data type MathModel not being serializable, but no error on the data type MathModel that it is not serializable?

How do I fix this?

Paul,

A data type can be used in contexts where it's not required to be EMF
serializeable, e.g., an parameter of an operation or a transient
attribute of an class. So it's only the use of a non-serializeable data
type in a context that requires it to be serializeable (a non-transient
attribute) that is an error.

You can either make the feature transient, or you must make the data
type serializeable, which involves hand implementing the two conversion
methods in the generated factory implementation class.

The attribute must be serializeable.

Yes, I remember this from reading the EMF book. My issue is one step sooner. How do you get the ecore editor to allow the factory to be generated? In other words, how do you get the error to go away? How do you tell the editor I will implement the conversion methods?

Paul,

The factory is always generated. You must change the EDataType's
serializeable attribute to true to make the error go away and then the
factory will have the method stubs you must implement.
