Hello,

I have been working on GMF for a couple of weeks now so i am still a newbie...I was wondering why do i always have to modify the code myself after generating the Editor Code, Model Code and Edit Code?

when the code is generated automatically i always get an error and i have to modify it manually and for sorry sometimes it doesn't work as expected.

Could you please help me out with that? if want the source code then please let me know it's just a simple application that's easy to be understood.

Thanks,
Mostafa.

Hey,
the problem is the generated code is always a buggy one...which leads that i have to modify it manually and most probably in an incorrect way as it should be generated automatically.

So, the output model is not as expected.

I uploaded the source code if you wanna have a look over it.

Thanks for your concern.

Moustafa,

I don't want to paw through a large archive (of a workspace?) looking
for mystery problems. Please be more specific.

Hi,

I built a diagram, and some of its components has relationships (e.g a Kitchen has 1 or more table and table can't be included in any other component)

So after that i generated the genmodel and generated the Model Code, Edit Code and Editor Code.

the problem is that i always find errors in the generated code...So do i have to fix manually (which might cause other problems) or something went wrong with building the diagram?

the workspace2 is just a small sample application it's a not the whole workspace...it just shows the errors that i got when generating the codes.

As Ed insisted, please be more specific. The word "error" has no useful
meaning.
What is it? Compilation errors? Because of what? Missing class, bad
syntax...? or Runtime errors? Of which kind? Diagram cannot open, you
cannot create a node...?

So please provide more details - as a few lines in the content of the
mail, not as an attachment. Then you'll probably get more support ;)

Hi Mickael,

ok, i will try to be more specific...

The imports at the generated code cannot be resolved...and even sometimes the methods are undefined and not implemented (compilation errors).

do i have to create the missing methods manually? and create the missing classes as well?

hope i am clear enough...if not please just tell me.

Thanks,
Mostafa.

Ok,

You should not have anything to change in the generated code. It should
work "as it". However, it is possible that you MANIFEST.MF is not
updated by the generation and is missing some dependencies.
Can you provide an example of unresolved import?

one of the uncorrect imports was "homedesign.homedesign.util.HomedesignAdapterFactory;" while it should be "import homedesign.util.HomedesignAdapterFactory;"

I solved these imports but the problem is when i embed diagrams by means of making relationships (e.g Kitchen should contain a Table inside it) i couldn't see the embedded graph...but i think it's added but not visible).

I attached a snapshot of the result, please check it out.

thanks for your quick response!

This is probably a bug in the generator that does not take into account
changed package names.
Please check wether it is reported or fix. If you find it as Open in the
tracker, please add a comment and your use-case (the former zip would
help). If you find it mark as resolved, then ensure you use the latest
version (2.4) of GMF-Tooling. Finally, if you don't find anything
relevant, please open a bug with the precise steps and resources to
reproduce your bug.
