Custom DataType for my emf editor [message #1746176]

Hello everyone,

I have a model for modelling controls like TableViewer. I include the PackageExplorer to my generated Editor so that I can create my custom Projects in there with the xmi file. When I discribe my TableViewer and want to add a LabelProvider or other CompilationUnits exist in the custom Projekt. How can I do this. The LabelProvider is defined as a DataType in the ecore model.

My first Idea is to enhanced the propertyview to add the LabelProvder to the xmi model. So how can I referenced the CompilationUnit in the custom Project to XMI?

Hope this is clear enough.

I added the LabelProvider programmatically by a custom command and save the xmi file.
The next Time I open this xmi file I got this exception. What should I do to handle with custom data types in xmi file?

It's right in front of your eyes: you must implement the factory method createFromString() so that EMF can deserialize instances of your custom type. That said, I have a hard time imagining a LabelProvider to be a data type. It's not clear what you are doing.
