Hello,
I've created a EMF Model and generated an user interface by using the eclipse client platform (ECP). All this works very nice, but now I've come to a point were I want to modify the user interface a bit.
I've read in a tutorial that it is possible to modify the interface by using EMF Forms.
Link to the tutorial:
http://www.eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/getting-started-with-EMF-Forms/
I exactly followed the steps in the tutorial which says that I should right-click on the Ecore model file (*.ecore) and then select EMF Forms > Create View Model Project.
The problem is that I cannot find EMF Forms in my context menu.
I've installed all required plug-ins directly into my IDE (Eclipse Juno) and they are also all listed under the installed plug-ins.
So my question is what am I doing wrong?
Is there maybe a different approach of solving this problem?
One thing I've already tried out is, that I manually created a .viewmodel file and tried to open it, but eclipse opened it only with the default editor which wasn't very useful for me. Why doesn't eclipse open the .viewmodel file with the EMF Form editor?
Hopefully someone has already successfully tried this out and can explain what he was doing different.
Best Greetings,
Thomas

Hi,
are you sure, that the EMF Forms bundles have been installed correctly?
As we do not officially support Juno, there might be a version issue.
Could you kindly retest this on Luna or Kepler? Could you check in the
"About" => Installation Details, that the EMF Forms IDE feature is
correctly installed?
Best regards
Jonas

Hy Jonas,
I am currently trying this out, it does however not seem to have an effect. I add a Show Rule to Control depending on another EBoolean Feature. If I start the application, changing the respective Boolean Feature to true does not render the Control containing the show rule visible and vice versa. This is with 1.4.0_M4 on SWT?!
