EMF Editor and CrossReference [message #659211]

Hi, my question is the following: Is there a way to manage two models in the same generated editor. For example :

(I have two model where i generate Model / Edit / Editor).

Model 1:
Class A , contains many 'AbstractA'
'AConcrete' extends 'AbstractA'

Model 2 (in a different plugin):
Class B extends 'AbstractA' by cross-reference to model 1.

When i generate editor for model1 and execute it, when i use the custom editor generated for model1 and i try to create new element from Class A, using the right-click .. createChild, the only element that appears is 'AConcrete'. Is there a way to show 'Class B' also?

This should not be a problem because Class B extends the same element as 'AConcrete'.

Is there something i'm doing wrong? or is there any options in the genModel that allow me to achieve this?

Thanks for your help

David C.

David,

If you generated them from a single GenModel it would work. Or you
could use the approach described here:
