Hi,

I have a bunch of custom meta-models which all work fine with EMFStore 1.0.1, except for one EClass.
Once I create an instance of this class via the "New Model Element" feature of the EMF client, several null-pointer exceptions are thrown and the client is not able to open the editor for the model element.

This class and its meta-model consist of no custom code. Everything was generated with EMF Ecore.
After a bit of debugging, I've noticed that this class is the only one that contains EReferences of the type "EObject".
If I delete those references from the class or change their type to anything other than "EObject" the problem is gone.

So it seems to me that there is a problem with EReferences of the type EObject.
However, the same meta-model and all of its classes were working fine with EMFStore/ECP 0.9.3, though.

I'm using the following software configuration:
Eclipse Platform 4.3
Eclipse SDK 4.3
Eclipse RCP 4.3
EMFStore 1.0.1
EMF Client Platform 1.0.2
EMF Client Platform EMFStore Integration 1.0.2
ECP SDK Feature 1.0.2

I'm attaching the output of the console that was thrown after creating an instance of this EClass as it might be of use.

Now my question would be whether this is a new "bug" of EMFStore 1.0.1 as it was working fine with 0.9.3, or whether I forget to change something after upgrading from 0.9.3 to 1.0.1?
Any help ore ideas would be appreciated!

Regards,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,

thank you for your post!
This seems to be a bug in the EMF Client Platform UI. But since I am
also responsible for ECP, I will look into it today and get back to you.

Cheers,
Maximilian

Hi Steffen,

we can reproduce the problem and have opened a bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419116
The problem is caused by the LabelProvider for EObjects (EMF Core) which
returns a URI instead of a URL, which we did not handle so far. We have
prepared a fix and will deliver it as part of a hotfix release (1.0.3)
in the upcoming days.

Cheers,
Maximilian

Hi Steffen,

we released a fix for ECP today (1.0.3). We also switched to a composite update site for ECP today, so you should change the ECP update site URL you are using to

http://download.eclipse.org/emfclient/releases

Please let us know if the fix works for you.

Cheers,
Edgar

Hey Guys,

I hate to bother you with this issues again, but it seems as if you've reintroduced the problem while upgrading from ECP 1.0.3. to ECP 1.1.1.

I've tested this with two new Eclipse Kepler installations, one running ECP 1.0.3, the other running ECP 1.1.1.
The 1.1.1. version doesn't work with models that contain EReferences towards EObjects. It's throwing the same exceptions as the version prior to 1.0.3, so the old problem seems to be back...

Cheers,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
I checked our source code, and the fix is still there.
Could you please paste the stacktrace from ECP 1.1.1 you get?

Thank you,
Eugen

Hi Eugen,

you're post made me wonder whether I've done something stupid so I've run the whole test again and obtained the same results.
I'm attaching the stacktrace to my post.

Hi Steffen,
thank you for the Stacktrace.

In 1.1 we introduced a so called ViewModel
(http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/emf-client-platform-how-to-customize-the-editor-layout/).

As far as I can see in the Stacktrace, you are missing some plugins in
your launch configuration.
Please check that you have added org.eclipse.emf.ecp.ui.view and
org.eclipse.emf.ecp.ui.view.swt to your launch configuration.

If you have customized the view model and are using concepts defined in
other plugins like group then also add the corresponding ui and ui.swt
plugins, too , e.g. org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.group.model ->
org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.group.ui, org.eclipse.emf.ecp.view.group.ui.swt


Cheers,
Eugen

Hi Eugen,

thanks for the message. Those two plug-ins were already activated, however some other ECP plug-ins were missing.
After reading your post I simply activated all ECP and EMFStore plug-ins and the problem was solved.
Thanks again!

I just wonder why the "Add required plug-ins" didn't add them to the launch configuration in the first place.

Cheers,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,
I'm glad that it now works for you.

The "Add required plug-ins" doesn't work because the missing plugins
aren't referenced as dependencies from the other plugins. As you can
imagine the view model renderer have dependencies to the corresponding
model plugins but not vice-versa.

Cheers,
Eugen
