Hi,
I am creating model elements in this way:

var myVar : Type = new Type();

And I'm getting the following warning: No constructor defined, using implicit constructor (equal to empty inline instantiation)

How would an "empty inline instantiation" look like?

If I just do

var myVar : Type;

it doesn't seem to work.

Hi, please use:

var myVar : Type = object Type {};

The new keyword is intended to invoke a constructor, which is a special type of QVTo operation that needs to be declared explicitly. In contrast, object allows you to instantiate arbitrary classes on the fly.
