Did you take a look to the previous topic about XCore [1] ?
Let us know if this topic answers your question.
Best regards,

Hi Laurent,
Thank you for your reply.
I checked the thread you mentioned and my scenario is the first one described in the message of Alex Lagarde: I am trying to define Sirius views on an Xcore-based metamodel.
I do have the "org.eclipse.sirius.runtime.ide.xtext" feature installed in my IDE.
However, the plugin contained in this feature (o.e.sirius.common.xtext) only contributes a resourceSet factory, it does not help in locating Xcore models in the workspace (which was the first problem I encountered).
What I then tried is to edit the .odesign file by hand and indicate the Ecore model location inside the .xcore file like this:
<metamodel href="xm1.xcore#/EPackage"/>
This seemed to work, at least I get content assist for domain classes and features in the Specification Editor.
I am also able to create a representation file for the dynamic model instance I created from the Xcore model, but the view does not show correct data.
I am attaching a project that shows what I try to achieve. There are an .xcore file, an .xmi file containing an instance of the model, an .odesign and and .aird file, all in the model subfolder.
Thank you,
Csaba
p.s. Problems I currently see:
1. Lots of resources representing Java types (like java:/Objects/org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EPackage) being displayed in the Sirius Specification Editor. (Sometimes a see these also in the Model Explorer under the aird node.)
2. When saving the Specification Editor, A "Problems encountered in file java:/Objects/..." is reported for each Java type resource.
3. "Transaction aborted due to concurrent write" exception from the emf.transaction plugin when double clicking the aird file in Model Explorer.
I am using Sirius 2.0 stable snapshot from http://download.eclipse.org/sirius/updates/stable/2.0.0-S20140817-113443/luna

An other option could be to deploy you xcore plugins, and to reference
it using the add from registry button (metamodels tab in the properties
view when you select a Diagram/Table/Tree description).
You could also open a bug to ask if it is possible to improve the add
from workspace wizard to make it propose xcore files [1].

Thoses resources are loaded during the load of xm1.xcore, they
corresponds to types and resources referenced from your xcore model. The
editor displays all loaded resources.
> 2. When saving the Specification Editor, A "Problems encountered in file java:/Objects/..." is reported for each Java type resource.
This seems to be a bug occuring during the save: we/Sirius/the Xtext
bridge/the saving policy should detect that some files have been loaded
as library/external readonly resources and there should be no save
attempt on those files.
Could you create a bug for poblems 1 and 2 on the Sirius bugzilla [1] ?

As explain to Csaba, the wizard "add from workspace" only display ecore
files. I think you could create a bug on the Sirius bugzilla to ask for
an improvment of the wizard to give it the possibility to show xcore files.
If you deploy you xcore plugins, you should be able to reference your
metamodel with the "add from registry action".

Could you open a bug for this problems with a small sample showing your
issue ? I was not able to reproduce the issue.
