Hi,

What is the purpose of "Property Category", "Property Description" and
"Property Filter Flags" at attribute level in *.ecore?
I suppose that I can group the attributes in groups in the editor by
specifying that - is it correct? But How can they be used? Where can I
read about this issue?

Maybe my question is very easy or stupid but please apologize me as I'm
new to this.

Frederic

Frederic,

Try and see is an effective technique. The property category determines
the category label, e.g., Ecore and Edit below, the property description
determines what's shown on the status line when the property is
selected, and the filter lets you specify the filter IDs that must be
active to show the property, e.g., using
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.expert for this will cause the property
to be displayed only when "Show Advanced Properties" is enabled in the
properties view.

Ed,

I tried to set 'Test Category' in Property Category and 'Test Description'
in Property Description to test it but the attrubute disappear from
properties in the generated model :-( So, I think I miss something...

Frederic,

I tried this:


And that has this effect:


I'm not sure exactly what you tried. (Did you specify
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.expert as the filter? That would hide it.)

Ed,

it's very strange. If I set property category and property description to
attribute EString (as in your example) - everything is ok, the attrubute
is in specified group and all others are in 'Misc' group. But when I set
property category and property description to attribute EBoolean - the
attribute disappears.
