Hi all,
as i understand the mechanism of Resources and their corresponding
factories, one has to use the same ResourceFactory for loading a model, that
has been registered for serializing a model. I also know, that the kind of
Resource, which should be used for serializing the model from within the
generated wizard, can be selected in the properties of the genmodel. I have
made some experiences with the programatically variant of loading and
serializing an emf model, either by using a specific implementation of an
ResourceFactory. So, from this point of view, i have no question.
But now a new scenario (anyway, it is new for me): How is it possible, to
propagate a special ResourceFactory/Resource for the EMF Editor plugin? You
know, i want to do some optional settings and modifications (like
implementing the generateUUID() method, that it returns true) and i want the
Editor to use this ResourceFactory/Resource for serialization instead of a
default one. I searched for extension points concerning resources, but
didn't found anything.
Thanks for any help.
Timothy

Yes, that's generally a good idea.

Yes, there's even more control over details like the file extension(s)
and whether a content type should be associated with those extensions or
whether a content type should just be assumed for the extension...

Propagate?

The resource factory registration is typically done in the plugin.xml of
the model, but since the plugin.xml doesn't regenerate, changing
Generator options which affect the plugin.xml requires deleting the
plugin.xml and then regenerating it for the new options.

Look for org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser and
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.content_parser, and keep in mind that
extension_parsers must identity a unique extension whereas a
content_parser allows many different models to use the same
extension... Editors can similarly be associated with either an
extension or a content type. (And as I mentioned, you can configure
this via the GenPackage's options, with the caveat that plugin.xmls
don't regeneration once they exist.)

Ed,
propagate was not the correct word :) I think, i should have used the word
"declare".
And again, thanks for your answers.
Thx
