Hi

I have a common domain model which consists of 1 parent ecore and 5
child ecore files. They all reference uml.ecore and ecore.ecore.

I can generate tree editors without problem, if I call the parent
editor I get a choice of child editors, I can even use load resource to
have several child editors linked.

Trouble is I'm not sure how to do the similar thing in GMF.
I can also generate individual GMF diagrams for each child giving them
different names but I would like a linked set of diagrams each which can
reference nodes on the different child diagrams.ie if I use a wizard and
associated perspective I get a menu saying new DSLA diag ... DSLF diag etc.

Am I correct in assuming that there will be 6 gmfgen, mapping and graph
files for the parent and 5 children?

regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

This is really a GMF question, so should be posted on that newsgroup.

You're right that there will be a gmfmap, etc. for each diagram type, if
that's what you're looking to do. You can always use shortcuts to allow for
elements from various domain models to appear on one diagram, or even use
diagram partitioning to allow one type of diagram to open another. This is
covered in the book, btw.

Best,
Rich
