Hi,

How can I programatically delete a resource in EMF?

There is only one EObject inside it which is contained by a an EObject in
another Resource.

Any ideas much appreciated,

Andy

Andy,

EcoreUtil.delete can be used to remove all references to an object. A
resource can just be removed from a resource set. There's no facility
for deleting the actual file in the backing store. I'm hoping to add
such a thing in EMF 2.4 as part of the effort to generalize the
URIConverter to support a full REST-style URI access (that includes
delete, exists, timestamps, and hopefully a read only test).

Hi,

Thanks, can you see any problem with manually deleting the file once we've
removed all references and removed the resource from the resourceset?

Cheers,

Andy

Andy,

I don't foresee any problems, no.
