Hello there,

i need to undo a already completed merge. How can i do that?

This is my code:

Registry createStandaloneInstance = IMerger.RegistryImpl.createStandaloneInstance();
IMerger highestRankingMerger = createStandaloneInstance.getHighestRankingMerger(diff);
highestRankingMerger.copyLeftToRight(diff, null);


Now i want to undo the merge. how can i do that? The EMF-Compare Editor is able to achieve this.

Thank you,
Simon

Edit: I probably found a way with help of an ChangeRecorder. Is there a different way? Or is this the best one?

Hi Simon,

The EMF Compare editor uses the help of an IEditingDomain to implement its un/redo actions. That is the most efficient (and less bug-prone) way to achieve this and is probably what you should strive for. I am not sure IEditingDomains can be used standalone since I never had to implement that, you might want to ask on the EMF forum if you don't manage to make it work on your use case.

Hello Laurent, thanks for your response.

i know how to use undo and redo actions with EMF/CommandStack. The problem is, that the merger wont provide or use a command to change the model. Thats the reason i cant undo it.

Hi Simon,

you are right, the merger modifies the model directly. Have a look at org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui.internal.structuremergeviewer.actions.MergeAction, org.eclipse.emf.compare.domain.impl.EMFCompareEditingDomain and org.eclipse.emf.compare.command.impl.MergeCommand.MergeCommand to see how the merge operation is wrapped within a command that can be undone and redone.

For your usecase, it'd probably be enough to create a change recorder and re-use MergeCommand. You can then undo the merge command based on the change recorder.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Philip

Hello Phillip, than you for your response.

i tryed to create a MergeCommand but i am not sure about the parameters. i always get a NPE if i try to execute the command.

Can you give me a better explanation for the constructor parameters then the actucal java doc provides?

Thank you

Edit: i got it work. Problem is now, that if i save my model, i get the following error: The object 'org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EGenericTypeImpl@3a199b9a (expression: ?)' is not contained in a resource.

I know that this means that there is an eobject that has still a refernce from the model put is not contained in any parent anymore so the model cant be saved.

Hi Simon,

I assume this means you've merged a difference without merging all of its dependencies (or that a post-processor on the model removed one such dependency). I don't really know what kind of merge could give you a dangling EGenericType though...

Could you check that you're merging all differences and not just part of them?
