Hi,

I want to create platform specific model. I know that ecore model is our PIM and from genmodel we can generate code. what is genmodel exactly? Is it PSM or something near PSM? How can I create PSM which is class diagram from that?

What specifically does that mean?

It's a decorator for Ecore to specify configurable some of the details
about how Ecore is mapped to Java.

Depending on what you mean, even Ecore is somewhat platform specific,
i.e., specific to the Java platform, though I know there are folks who
have looking into supporting it for C/C++ and C#.

The Ecore Tools project provides the ability to create class diagrams
for Ecore.

It's valid to consider Ecore a PIM and Genmodel a PSM, I think, since
Genmodel annotates/decorates an Ecore with the information needed for
generating Java code (i.e. the platform).

As Ed wrote, you can generate a class diagram that corresponds to the
Ecore, but I don't think it can generate a class diagram corresponding
to what is generated from the Genmodel. You'll have to derive that from
the Java code.
