Hi

I've linked my EMF & GMF editors together as per Rich's book and
examples but I have a couple of questions if I may.

I have just created a basic SBVR ecore to add some business logic to
my editor, I want the user to create the business logic strings
using only the EMF editor, ie I don't want to display SBVR nodes
in GMF. I can do this OK on the tree editor but my diagram editor
crashes as soon as I switch to it. I assume this is because I don't
have SBVR nodes in my gmfmap files etc.

So long as I stick to non SBVR nodes I can use either editor just fine.

Is it possible to have SBVR nodes non editable in GMF ie no tool
or visual but editable in EMF? ie GMF only contains a subset.

(I have a containment from my main model to a subcomponent in my
draft SBVR ecore)

regards
Steve

It's best to direct these types of project-specific questions to the GMF
newsgroup. Amalgam is mostly a packaging and "glue" project.

Thanks,
Rich
