Hi all,

Is it possible to load an external resource file (one I have created in different emf editor) in to my current gmf project only to iterate through the file and perform appropriate actions? If I try to load external file through...

URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI(absResourcePath);
Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(fileURI, true);

It throws Package with uri 'http://www.example.org/xxx' not found. Which is expected, cause i dont have such package in my project. The question is if there is another way to load it, or i should rather handle the file as a regular xml file and parse it so...
Am I right that when i load it as i shown in the exampe, the editor tires to model it?

Thanks for a hint...

Jan

Hi,

this question is completly related to EMF. You can load whatever EMF models you like into a ResourceSet without influencing the GMF-Editor. You can also iterate through such a emf model and manipulate a model opened in a GMF editor.

It would be interesting to see the whole exception you get. You might also try asking in the EMF forum what is wrong with loading your EMF model.
