OCL for XCore [message #1012779]

I have an xcore model, and I would like to edit OCL constraints. What is the best way to do it? I see that OCL has its own XText editor for .ecore files, which seems to be a different grammar than the xcore one, but I don't find any menu entry to edit ocl rules for xcore. How can I add OCL rules to my xcore model (I do not have an .ecore).

Thanks,

David

Hi

Using Xcore you can edit embedded EAnnotations, but that will be painful
and not get any syntax or semantic checking.

Using Xcore you must be able to export a *.ecore and edit it with
OCLinEcore, which was available two years before Xcore.

Buit really you should decide which camp you want to be in:

If you like tools related to OMG specifications you should use
OCLinEcore or OCL in UML (Papyrus).

If you like Java-like pragmatics you should use Xcore and Xbase.
