Hi guys,

as the title already gives away I have an xsd file and want to convert it into ecore (which is no problem).Then I want to use this model for the ATL transformation.

However, there I encounter the problem that ATL does not find the classe in the ecore model. I think it has got something to do with the type definition in xsd.

The model is quite complex and it would be too much to create my own ecore from scratch. So I would like to know whether this problem is known and if there is a workaround.

Cheers!

Hi,
This is probably the most asked question about ATL Smile

The newsgroup has many discussions on this. See http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=204769& amp;start=0&S=d07807d8af6668a8455bf0fcf9495310 and http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=203153& amp;start=0&S=6b866a5d1c59903dcc99e0e6ace7b17c for starters.

Basically your problem is most likely that you have not registered you XML Schema derived Ecore model. You must generate code off this model to have it registered.

Regards,
Ronan

Okay,

I have now created the plugin with the model... but what am I supposed to select in the EMF-Registry Menu in ATL... it still is not shown (at least I don't know which to choose).
The plug-in is loaded and I also export all the packages. I also created the edit and editor plug-in but it still does not show up in the EMF-Registry.

Cheers

Okay I still don't get it Mad

It's still the same error...

Error loading platform:/resource/****.xml: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.ClassNotFoundException: Class '***' is not found or is abstract

BTW.: I am using extended metadata. I somewhere read that ATL has problems with that..

Could someone please tell me step by step how I deploy the plug-in or accomplish this task differently. Obviously I am too stupid to to that.

Cheers

Hi,
Your attempting to do 2 different ways of registering your metamodel. I recommend you do the following.
- You created the model/edit/editor code earlier didn't you?
- To get the meta-model registered using this code you must either
a) deploy plugins and put them intot your plugins folder. Google this or read http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html Section 6
b) deploy the plugins by launching a second eclipse from your first eclipse. This second eclipse will have your plugins deployed into it. This is my prefered approach during development as the plugins get updates every time you launch the second eclipse.
- Once the plugins are deployed they will register themselves and the meta-model will be available to ATL via the Registered Ecore (can't remember the exact name right now) models button.
Good luck!
Ronan
