Hi all,
First, I would like to thank OBEO team for such a great tool.

I'm using Sirius to create a designer for IFML language using the IFML metamodel. Source code available here github.com/ifml/ifml-editor.

Everything is working fine in development mode, but when I build the plugin and install it for the update site, the queries from my mtl file are not working.
My file is registered as a java extension using the Acceleo syntax (com::exemple::helper), I have the dependency org.eclipse.sirius.common.acceleo.mtl and my project has the Accleo nature.
Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?

NB. I'm working with eclipse Luna

Thank you

Can you check that you have etml files in your plugin from your update
site? The *.emtl files are the binary/compiled files of *.mtl files
(like *.class files for *.java files). If these files do not exist in
your deployable plugin there is a problem in your build process.
That's my first idea.

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for your answer. I have just checked the existence of the .emtl file, it's there under the name helper.emtl in the same folder as helper.mtl.

Is this mean that my plugin is built correctly?

I have already checked the example you mentioned before posting my question, I'm following the same instructions.

Thank you again.

Hi all,

I managed to fix the issue by removing org.eclipse.core.resources from the dependencies of the designer plugin. This was creating a confusion for Acceleo because because this dependency it already reexported from our emf metamodel editor project and this redundancy prevented Acceleo from using this library to select the resource requested in the queries. Somehow this was tolerated in the development mode but not after building the plugin.

Cheers
Hamza
