Hi,
I have created using the Eclipse EMF / GMF framework a graphical editor. When I save my models I get xmi files. Now I want to process this file in oAW workflow in order to generate code from the models in EMF-GMF graphical editor.
Firstly I don't know how to connect .xmi file of my models to oAW workflow?
Secondly, do I have to make a separate openarchitectureware.project or can I just setup workflow in my current .diagram plug-in package?
Unfortunately, I could not found any instructions on reference documents or forums. Since I am a beginner in this arena I hope you understand my problem.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Olga

Olga,

those .xmi files are serialized EMF models. Most oaw tutorials handle EMF based models and the Xpand project wizard creates a working example with an EMF model and its .ecore metamodel. You could use this sample project (File / New / Project / Xpand Project) you could replace the model by your own.
I strongly recommend following the Xpand tutorial (can be found in online help) to get more familiar.
Rgd. your other question: I would seperate the plugins, since they have different concerns.

Kind regards,
~Karsten

Hello Karsten,

Do you mean OAW tutorial from openArchitectureWare 4.3.1 documentation, as I could not find any place Xpand tutorial ?
Secondly, in using sample Xpand project, I got Model file with .xmi extension (Model.xmi) and the files generated from my EMF/GMF editor do not have .xmi extension. In order to replace sample model file (Model.xmi), do I have to change the extension of my one of my diagram file to .xmi ?
Sorry for my ignorance.

Olga
