Hi all,
1) So I have been using PlantUML to quickly have a diagram view of my .xcore models.
It has worked so far, however, I notice he fails to create a graph when I build a model such as this:
class Door
{
int number
String location
}
class House
{
contains Door front
contains Door back
}
If I define to contains with objects of the same type PlantUML crashes.
Can I not defined this? What would be the difference of using a "refers" instead of a "contains"?
If I use refers it works.
2) Is there any other way of viewing the .xcore file as a diagram?

I don't know anything about that...

Hmm, there's nothing wrong with the above.

Clearly you can and it shouldn't cause any projects.

You'd get cross reference instead of a containment reference. In terms
of the EMF model then, you couldn't create a Door from a House instance
in the editor. You'd have to have a containment reference for Doors
somewhere else or save Doors at the root of some other reference in
order for a House to be able to refer to it.

The Ecore Tools editor supports creating diagrams for Xcore, though I've
found it to be a little buggy is that regard as well (and it's important
to note that it treats the *.xcore file as read only, so you can't
actually edit the underlying model with it). But if no one opens
bugzillas for Ecore Tools problems with Xcore, then any such problems
will never be fixed...
