Hi,
I am trying to integrate Xcore with Texo. I make nice progress, but also encounter 2 issues for which I would need some
advice:
- when I let Texo generate code from an epackage I first let Texo validate this epackage. The validation fails for an
epackage read from an xcore file. When I validate the xcore file directly (using the right-click option) it works fine.
Where is the code that implements this right click? Then I can maybe copy part of the approach there to validate models
from xcore files.


- in Texo it is possible to define a so-called annotations model. This is an instance file which refers to the original
model (in the xcore file in this case). When I try to open the annotations model in the standard generated editor it
gives an error on a missing genmodel or something. The annotations model references seem to correctly refer to the xcore
file next to it.

I attached some screenshots and the xcore and the annotation model file.

Thanks for any pointers on this!

gr. Martin

Martin,

Probably more interesting is to see why the reflective editor is able to
open a *.xcore file. Have a look at
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.presentation.EcoreEditor.createModel(). From what
you describe, this is the most significant thing to consider first:

resourceSet.getURIConverter().getURIMap().putAll(EcorePlugin.computePlatformURIMap(true));

Hi Ed,
Thanks, yes for specific code where I load xcore to generate other things (like an epackage) it works. I still need to
get the validation to work, but that's something for later. (if I disable the validation I can generate texo code
directly from an xcore file, really nice!)

For the annotationsmodel issue.

When I use the sample ecore model editor to open a standard ecore file it works, I can refer from an ecore file to a
xcore file and open it correctly, also the genmodel/ecore.ecore model are opened (see the attached screenshot).

For my annotations model editor: I only have a generated edit plugin, but no editor plugin. Also I noticed that in my
model file I have a reference like this:
platform:/resource/org.eclipse.emf.texo.web.example/model/travel.xcore#/EPackage/Journey
while the library.ecore file (using the standard EMF editor) has this:
ecore:EClass travel.xcore#/EPackage/Journey

So it seems that that the sample model editor opens the xcore/references in a different way than I do (as it works). But
on my side I only have edit plugins (all generated a year ago btw). So it uses the standard editor plugins isn't then?

Maybe I should generate also an editor plugin? (to add the line you show below)?

To add some info: I generate the annotations model file, when I generate the annotations model file it refers to the
xcore file. I load the xcore file using a resourceset (with the additional line you mention in the beginning). So my
'problem' with opening the annotations model file can be in 2 things:
- the uri's I use in the annotations model file are wrong
- I need to change the editor code which opens the annotations model file, so generate an editor plugin and customize it
I guess

What do you think is the main issue/problem and solution approach?

Thanks Ed!

Okay found it, I had a generated editor plugin ofcourse..
Indeed needed to the line of code mentioned by you below Ed. The code generation also works (I needed to read the XCore
package and genmodel package in the packageregistry I am using for code generation).

So all good now!
