Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a way to configure my GenModel in order to have no code generated for a given EPackage.

Does someone know if it is possible and how ?

Hi

Define a separate GernModel for that/each EPackage and reference the unwanted GenModel as a usedGenPackages.

Hi Ed, thank you for your answer.
I think I must give you more details on my usecase, because I tried this solution and it didn't work.

I'm doing these things : Papyrus UML Model -> Ecore Model -> java code.
In my Papyrus Model, I have :
- a PrimitiveType mapped on java.lang.Boolean (stereotyped as EDataType)
- a class representing EClass (stereotyped as EClass)
- a class representing EObject (stereotyped as EClass)

Of course these objects are used to types UML Properties

The UML to EMF tool creates an EDatatype and 2 EClasses adressing the real object.
The code generation works fine. (there are no code generated for boolean, EClass and EObject !)

Now, I would like to group these objects in a dedicated Package (or a dedicated model). I do a simple model (in attachment ) to apply your answer.
As the objects in this package are used as type in the second model, the generated code for xxxPackageImpl#init() doesn't compile because we initialize the useless dependency to the package I didn't generate

In attachment a simple example to reproduce my problem in EMF pure.
Thank you for your help.


Of course, I could avoid headache using EBooleanObject, EClass and EObject instead of creating EDatatype and EClass to represent them, but this is the current result of the UMLToEcore transformation so I would like to know if it is possible to not reference a not generated package when it contains only predefined types.

Regards,

Looking at the XMI of this package
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ecore:EPackage xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:ecore="http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" name="Example" nsURI="ExampleURI" nsPrefix="Example">
  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="MyClass">
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="anEClass" eType="ecore:EClass externaltypes.ecore#//EClass"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EAttribute" name="localBoolean" eType="ecore:EDataType externaltypes.ecore#//Boolean"/>
    <eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="anEObject" eType="ecore:EClass externaltypes.ecore#//EObject"/>
  </eClassifiers>
</ecore:EPackage>
it seems to me these should all be referencing EClassifiers from Ecore.ecore. I can't comment on what "externaltypes.ecore" is supposed to mean. That's a UML thing. But given the names, Ecore.ecore has EClassifiers named EClass, EObject, and EBoolean and I would expect those are what you'd want to be using here.

Hi

Primitives are a source of endless fun. I think that I counted no fewer than 7 different 'Boolean' types between OMG UML via Eclipse UML, Eclipse OCL, Ecore and Java. I suspect that you need to be unifying rather than ignoring.

Since you are doing UML -> Ecore -> Java, you might consider exploiting the OCL->Java code generator so that your UML has OCL 'bodies'. Eclipse UML2, Eclipse OCL supports UML+OCL -> Ecore -> Java.
