Roni,

It's best to use the OCL newsgroup, which I've added to the "to" list of
the reply so you can continue to use this thread.

Hi, Roni,

Are you using OCL 1.0.x (EMFT OCL) or 1.1 (MDT OCL)? If the former, then
this example plug-in defines two constraints: one requires that a Book
have an author and the other that a Writer must not have books in more than
two categories (much contrived, yes). In the 1.1 release, there is
additionally a constraint requiring that a Library not contain any Writers
that have no books.

Are you sure that you have a Library instance that violates any of these
constraints? When you select your Library and invoke "Validation ->
Validate Elements..." in the context menu, do you see any messages written
to the workspace log that indicate malfunction? Are you certain that these
example projects (in your workspace) are included in the configuration of
your run-time workbench (in the Plugins tab of the launch config dialog)?

Cheers,

Christian

I realize about the constraint in both versions. I'm using version 1.1.

I have hit Validate library element that violate the constraints but can't
see any issue popping up. Actually, running eclipse in debug mode, and
placing debug breakpoints literally everywhere, I can't get the debugger to
stop.

What log should I take a look at to see if this is running (BTW the plugins
are listed in the plug-in details in the about window)

Hi, Roni,

The editor context menu has two validate actions: "Validate" on the top
level of the menu, and "Validate Elements..." in a "Validation" sub-menu.
The former is what is generated for the editor by EMF; the latter invokes
the EMF Validation Framework and the example constraints defined by the
example plug-ins. Are you using the latter?

The log file that I referred to is the .log file in the .metadata/ folder of
your run-time workspace (view it in the Error Log view of your run-time
workbench). Another debugging tool is the tracing options. Try enabling
"debug/constraints/evaluation," "debug/parsers," and "debug/providers" in
the org.eclipse.emf.validation tracing options in your launch configuration
to see what is reported on the console.

Perhaps the "Examples Guide" in the EMF Validation Framework Developer Guide
will help. This is installed with the SDK in the Eclipse "Help ->
Contents" window.

HTH,

Christian

P.S. Since this is actually a problem with the EMF Validation framework
(not necessarily OCL), the EMF newsgroup is the appropriate venue :-)
