Hi,

i have a metamodel EMF (test.ecore). Now,
1. I want to create an instance (or model) that conforms to this metamodel by Java class.
2. If I have a model (my.test) that conforms to this metamodel (test.ecore).
I want to delete any objects of model (my.test) in java class

HOW I CAN IMPLEMENT THIS JAVA CLASS, PLEASE?
Thanks advance,

Try invoking "Generate Test Code" and have a look at the generated
XyzExample in the *.tests project.

Hi folks,

it's been a few days (a lot of hours) I'm looking on a way to register metamodel in an Eclipse application.
I mean, I'm using a personnal metamodel written in ecore (in a .ecore) and I want to use XMI instances of this metamodel in a Java application. To open the topic, I would add that I'm currently playing with transformations and higher-order transformations through ATL and Java mixed.

The point is : when I execute the
resourceSet.createResource(URI.createFileURI("models/myInstance.xmi"));
Java insults me for he consider the base package of the instance doesn't exist or is abstract (which is false as you may guess).
Note that the .xmi opens well in Eclipse as a "Sample Reflexive Ecore Model".

Well, I'm new in the "on-line community" and I don't have the slightest clue about the meaning of the most classic answer to my question :
Quote:

Try invoking "Generate Test Code" and have a look at the generated
XyzExample in the *.tests project.

Ed, if you can develop just enough to let me use that advice of yours Smile

Any clue welcome, I'm kind of stuck.
Thanks for your attention.
Ed

Hi folks,
as the same answer is poping again, I've created an account to ask your light on a little black point.

Please, Ed, what does this mean ?

Where do I invoke "Generate test code" ?

When you open a *.genmodel these are actions available in the context menu.

I don't use prensently any *.genmodel.
I'll create one and have a look.
Thanks a lot Ed for your presence.

So you've generated the Java code for it?

Is this supposed to run inside the IDE where there is a workspace?
Please try to generate the test project and look at the generated Example.

So you don't want to generate Java code? You just want to use dynamic EMF?

Do you have a *.genmodel for your *.ecore model? The introductory
tutorials should be helpful...

Maybe reading

Ok, well, you're going fast.
You'll excuse my precipitation, it's been a while I haven't used a forum.

I don't want to generate any Java code.
In a nutshell, I want to load an .ecore and its .xmi instances in order to play with. Everything is in the same project - and to start easy, in the same folder.
(Why ? I'm trying to build preconditions for a transformation plugin using ecore)

But wait a minute, I'll try what you told me.
I've got the tests and the reading open.

Thanks again.

        Resource.Factory.Registry reg = Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE;
        Map<String, Object> m = reg.getExtensionToFactoryMap();
        
        m.put("xmi",   new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
        m.put("ecore", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
       
        ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();

       [b]Ramified mm = new Ramified(resourceSet);
        resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(
            "RamRoot", mm.getRoot()
        );[/b]
     
        
        Resource resource = (Resource) resourceSet.createResource(URI.createFileURI("models/MyInstance.xmi"));
        resource.load(null);

Registering the package explicitly from the "instance" I've built from the .ecore (and more precisly, its root EPackage).

This looks like what changed this day in a beautyfull one !

Thanks a lot Ed for your support !
Edouard
