Hi everyone,

although the issue https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=262382
is marked as fixed, I still have an issue using EMF 2.8 to generate code.

In Mylyn Intent, I've got a Markup metamodel containing a "Container"
EClass.
Then another Intent metamodel has a containment reference returning an
instance of this "Container" EClass
https://github.com/eclipse/mylyn.docs.intent.main/blob/master/plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.docs.intent.core/src-gen/org/eclipse/mylyn/docs/intent/core/document/descriptionunit/impl/DescriptionBlocImpl.java

As the Intent code is generated in CDO-Native mode, any Impl class
extends CDOObjectImpl which extends MinimalEObjectImpl, which has a
public static inner Class called "Container". So even if I import the
"Container" Eclass from markup, it is the inner class of
MinimalEObjectImpl which is considered.

To work-around this issue, I have to always use the fully-qualified name
for my "Container". But if I do so, when I re-generate a new method
without the qualified name is generated. So I had to mark the whole
Class as @generated NOT.

The work-around works, but it is not clean and according to what I
understood I should not have to do that since EMF 2.5.

Although not critical, the issue is quite annoying as it means that as
soon as you generate CDO-Native code, you cannot have an EClass named
"Container" without having to put @generated NOT annotations.

Am I doing something wrong here or should I reopen the issue?

Best regards,
Alex

Alex,

So the problem appears to be in the following code in
org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore.genmodel.impl.GenClassImpl.addClassPsuedoImports()

public void addClassPsuedoImports()
{
GenModel genModel = getGenModel();
for (GenClass rootGenClass = this;;)
{
GenClass baseGenClass = rootGenClass.getBaseGenClass();
if (baseGenClass == null)
{
String rootExtendsClass =
rootGenClass.getGenModel().getRootExtendsClass();
if
("org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl".equals(rootExtendsClass))
{
genModel.addPseudoImport("org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl.Container");
}
else if
("org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl$Container".equals(rootExtendsClass)
||
"org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl$Container$Dynamic".equals(rootExtendsClass))
{
genModel.addPseudoImport("org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl.Container");
genModel.addPseudoImport("org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.MinimalEObjectImpl.Container.Dynamic");
}
break;
}
else
{
rootGenClass = baseGenClass;
}
}
}

I.e., it knows nothing about CDO's specialized implementation class and
what nested interface/classes it makes visible that can cause
conflicts. I can't even rely on Java reflection to do a better job
because the specified class might exist only in the target platform, not
in the running IDE itself.

More comments below.

That's ugly. You couldn't just mark the affected method(s)?

Yes, that's kind of ugly.

Yes, please open a bugzilla. I'm not sure how to generalize this.
Perhaps yet another property for all the conflicting class names of the
root extends class...

Hi Ed,

thanks a lot for your fast reply!

- "That's ugly. You couldn't just mark the affected method(s)?"
Nope, by marking just the methods as @generated NOT when the code is
generated for the Class it does not detect that there is already a
method setDescriptionBloc(Container newDescriptionBloc) and it generates
it again. I had to mark the whole class as @generated NOT to make sure
that I won't commit this new method by inadvertence.

- "Yes, please open a bugzilla. I'm not sure how to generalize this.
Perhaps yet another property for all the conflicting class names of the
root extends class..."
Done https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=410802 . Let the
default priority, but maybe this could be considered as Major? I let you
decide :)

Thanks again,
Alex
