Resource refactoring via LTK or any other mechanism? [message #501148] Tue, 01 December 2009 10:08 Go to next message

Hi,

we are using GMF editors for several DSL's. Typically a diagram resource
has references to one (or more) model resource files. In a project with
a lot of models a user will have the need to rename a model file at any
time. For that i have expected to get refactoring support. But all i
have found are approaches for model refactorings (model elements in a
model file), but there seems to be nothing to simply support the
renaming of a model file and keep the references to model elements valid
from a diagram using that model file (the uri's from diagram to model
have to be adapt).
Exists a plan/vision to do that in a generic way in GMF (via LTK?) or
does anybody know a plugin doing that or ...
I can't believe that i am the only person having the need to rename
model files without loosing all my diagram content?!

Thanks
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

we are doing this in our project flowr.org
(http://flowr.org:8080/display/flowr/Design+Framework). Therefor we
build an index through all kind of model cross references and use the
index for LTK refactoring hooks. Right now the index is build for model
projects only (a flowr specific nature), since we are declaring
namespaces for models to allow local and remote models. The
index/refactoring feature will become part of the new project MTF that
is under construction right now (http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/mtf/).
