Hello everybody!
I tried the OCL library example with ocl 1.1 but I can't find any
OCL-constraint in the ecore-file. Where do they reside? :)

Hi, Marco,
What do you mean by the OCL library example? What is the plug-in ID?
None of the SDK examples in the EMF Validation or MDT OCL components have
constraints in Ecore files. EMF doesn't (yet) support the definition of
OCL constraints in Ecore models. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=191689 for details.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi, Steffen,
This is not the only way to add constraints to an EMF model, and it doesn't
purport to be "the" way to do this.
Another option is to define constraints externally to your model using the
Validation Framework component of EMF. Have a look at the
org.eclipse.emf.validation.examples.ocl plug-in for examples of:
- defining OCL constraints right in your plugin.xml using the static
constraint provider
- incorporating OCL constraints defined in *.ocl files into the
validation framework using a dynamic constraint provider
To answer your original question: the OCL constraints as implemented in the
article are all specified using EAnnotations, annotating EClasses,
EStructuralFeatures, and EOperations. There is no EConstraint element in
Ecore.
HTH,
Christian

Christian,
thanks a lot for this clarification!

Hi Christian,
I ran the org.eclipse.emf.examples.library v2.3.0 in my runtime
workbench. The workbench complained successfully when I tried to violate
one of the contraints. But what I wanted to know is, where the
contraints of that example are defined.
Now that you mentioned that EMF does not support defining the
constraints in ecores, where else can I find the example's OCL-definitions?
Regards,
Marco

Hi, Marco,
I'm assuming, then, that you have one or more of the following example
plug-ins:
- org.eclipse.emf.validation.examples.general
- org.eclipse.emf.validation.examples.ocl
These examples both use the EMF Validation Framework's
org.eclipse.emf.validation.constraintProviders extension point to
contribute constraints *externally* to the Ecore model. You will find the
constraint definitions in the plugin.xml files of the above-named plug-ins.
The second example (validation.examples.ocl) also has an OCL constraint
provider that parses constraints defined in the *.ocl file.
HTH,
Christian
