Hello,

I want to compare two modells of the same metamodel with EMFCompare.
The first model originates from a xtext-DSL-Model. The second one is a model I checkout out from EMFStore. So they differ completely in their resource types.

My Code looks like this:
EcoreUtil2.resolveAll(newKMModel);
EcoreUtil2.resolveAll(oldRepoModel);
System.out.println("res newKMModel: " + newKMModel.eResource());
//org.eclipse.xtext.linking.lazy.LazyLinkingResource@1ac0d45 uri='/de.siv.kvasy.client.appl.crm.gui/src/main/model/customer_CustomerDisplayComponent.km'
System.out.println("res oldRepoModel: " + oldRepoModel.eResource());
//org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.XMIResourceImpl@1bd1302 uri='file:/C:/Dokumente%20und%20Einstellungen/phauer/.unicase/client/profiles/default/ps-_jAXNEIaeEeC4dqMKH95AxA/project/0.upf'
                    
EMFCOMPARE_OPTIONS.put(MatchOptions.OPTION_DISTINCT_METAMODELS, false);
                    
MatchModel match = MatchService.doMatch(newKMModel, oldRepoModel,EMFCOMPARE_OPTIONS);
ModelUtils.save(match,"C:/Match.diff");
DiffModel diff = DiffService.doDiff(match, false);
ModelUtils.save(diff,"C:/Diff.diff");
List<DiffElement> differences = new ArrayList<DiffElement>(diff.getOwnedElements());
MergeService.merge(differences, true);


Running the Code, I get an FactoryExeption at the line "MergeService.merge(differences, true);":
org.eclipse.emf.compare.FactoryException: The feature guiDomain does not exist in Project.

To get an impression of the Metamodel and the correct result I serialized once both models via ModelUtils.save() and compared the files via the EMFCompare eclipse plugin:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14402576/compare.png

I'm looking forward for any reponse, since this comparison is extremely important for our project.

Best regards

Even when I copy a model (for instance newKMModel) twice and change an attribute of one copy manually, I still get an exception, while merging the both copys.

Model copy1 = EcoreUtil.copy(newKMModel);
Model copy2 = EcoreUtil.copy(newKMModel);

System.out.println("Text before: "+getGuiTextProperty(copy2).getDraft());
getGuiTextProperty(copy1).setDraft("WOOOOH");
                    
ModelUtils.save(copy1, "C:/copy1.bla");
ModelUtils.save(copy2, "C:/copy2.bla");
                                       
MatchModel match = MatchService.doMatch(copy1, copy2, EMFCOMPARE_OPTIONS);
ModelUtils.save(match, "C:/ManuellMatch.diff");
DiffModel diff = DiffService.doDiff(match, false);
ModelUtils.save(diff, "C:/ManuellDiff.diff");
List<DiffElement> differences = new ArrayList<DiffElement>(diff.getOwnedElements());
MergeService.merge(differences, true);
                    
System.out.println("Text after: "+getGuiTextProperty(copy2).getDraft());

//getGuiTextProperty() is just a util method to get a specific attribute.

Strangely, when I compare the copy1.bla with copy2.bla with the emf compare plug-in the differences are correctly found. Consequently the way I use the API has to be wrong.

I solved that problem by:

* merging from right to left (MergeService.merge(differences, false)). Seems to be a bug in EMFCompare. The eclipse plugin has the same problem: Only one direction allows saving.
* using content match instead of the normal match, because one model has parents, that are not supposed to be concerned during matching.
* implementing my own MatchEngine (extending GenericMatchEngine) and override setModelRoots() in a way, that only the objects are set as the left and right roots - not the whole content of the resource like in the default implementation
* setting MatchOptions.OPTION_DISTINCT_METAMODELS to true
* setting MatchOptions.OPTION_IGNORE_XMI_ID to true

Puh, but now it works fine. Smile

Hi Philipp,

Wow, three messages, and you've already found an answer, before I even saw the first Smile.

Some of the conclusions you end up with are troubling.

> merging from right to left (MergeService.merge(differences, false)). Seems to be a bug in EMFCompare. The eclipse plugin has the same problem: Only one direction allows saving.

This usually means that we couldn't load "one of the sides" from a full URL, and thus don't know "where" to save ... in which case we'll disable merging to that side. Do you know which of the two resources provokes this? And what happens if you try to compare two such resources? Is the merging disabled in both directions?

> using content match instead of the normal match, because one model has parents, that are not supposed to be concerned during matching.

That can also be solved through the "resource" match, the "normal" being "resource set" match.

> implementing my own MatchEngine [...]

Didn't really understand that. What was wrong with the default implementation in your case?

> setting MatchOptions.OPTION_DISTINCT_METAMODELS to true

This option prevents EMF Compare from doing a "object1.eClass().isInstance(object2.eClass())" and stopping if the classes don't correspond. That would indicate that the two models you're comparing are either referencing different meta models, or that these two meta models have been loaded from two disting URIs.
