Hide XML file in project tree [message #478830]

I created a new gmf model and it works well.
I notice that once the user create a new instance of the diagram, 2
different files are being opened (diagram file and xml file).
How can I hide the second file? I don't want the user to view this file or
give him the ability to edit it.
The user should only see the diagram file.
Pls advice
Thanks alot!!!!

Hi Gilod,

GMF allows you to combine both Resources into one file. This can be done
by setting "Same File for Diagram and Model" in the GenEditor's
properties of your yxz.gengmf to "true". Then (after regenerating) you
only have one file with the "xyz_diagram" extension.

But sometimes it is not clever to but them into one file because this
can lead you into trouble if you want to access the model with another
editor, e.g. the created EMF-Model editor. It depends on your use-cases.

Another idea could be to simply filter out the model-files using the
filter function of the Package Explorer.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Martin

Thanks Martin,
I use the model diagram in the Backend so I can't just combined them both,
I think the second option is better for me,
Can you explain me how it could be done threw the package explorer?

Hi Gilod,

via UI :
click the arrow on the top left.
select filters...
and set the correct pattern (smthg like *.XXX_diagram)
