Hi,

I would like to parse .xcore files that reside in the workspace in order to get GenModel and ECore properties. I wonder how to load .xcore file. Is there a kind of special XCoreResourceFactory and XCoreResource to be used? I am digging the org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xcore source code. Some guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
;-)

Note that the Sample Ecore Editor can load a *.xcore resource, e.g., when you create a dynamic instanceof some EClass from that Xcore resource. So there's not so much special involved. Note that the Sample Ecore Editor does this

    resourceSet.getURIConverter().getURIMap().putAll(EcorePlugin.computePlatformURIMap(true));

and that will be important that other *.genmodels/*.xcore models can be found. Perhaps the details in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=536644 are helpful.
