Hi Ivir,

I have the same problem. Did you find out anything yet?

An Abstract class is by definition abstract and can't be instanced, so I'm not sure what you are asking.

One day I shall master M2T, but that day has yet to come...

Hallo Maxime,

I have defined a model with Xtext. And I want to instantiate one class of this model. The Xtext generator generates Interface classes and implementation classes for the model but it is neither possible to instantiate the interface what is obvious nor it is possible to instantiate the implementation class because it is not visible to the Xtend language.
The question is, how can I instantiate a class from my model?

I never used XText, always Xtend directly, so I can't say.

You should ask your question on M2T forum, there should be more people able to help there.

I never used Xtend. However it seems to me that the model generation you
speak about is standard EMF Ecore codegen generated code.

So it should also have generated a MyModelPackage and MyModelFactory
classes. Thoses classes will give you all of what you need.

To instanciate a ModelClassX model object do:

MyModelFactory.eInstance.createModelClassX()

Hallo Didier,

thank you for this tip. The solution I found is this:
create MetaModelFactory makeMetaModelFactory() :
    this
;

ExpandParameter makeExpandParameter(Type this, String category, String name, String value) :
    let param = makeMetaModelFactory().createExpandParameter() :
    param.setType(this)->
    param.setCategory(category)->
    param.setVarName(name)->
    param.setValue(value)->
    param
;
