Hie

I have part of my models(common stuff that shouldnt be changed) built into the rcp as a plugin-dependency. Wish to add a context menu for users to serialise these models in some other format e.g. XMI,how can this be achieved?

thanx, Macheke

Hi Macheke,

you could load the models by the platform:/plugin uri and save them to
an output stream by means of resource#save(..)
If you don't want to use the very same concrete syntax, you are free to
copy the library model into a new resource (say XMIResource).
EcoreUtil#copy will be your friend.
Does that help?

Regards,
Sebastian
