Greetings,
I am trying to extend an existing tool in Sirius. I have access to the .odesign file and to the metamodel of the language that was previously implemented using the framework (lets call it Language A).
The new language I am defining (Language B) is an extension of Language A, thus I started by extending the metamodel, this step was just fine, no issues during it.
However, now I started defining the .odesign file for Language B, I choose to extend the .odesign file that was used in Language A (I believe it will be easier this way) and I have a few questions.
I created a new Viewpoint and diagrams, this new diagrams uses the elements of Language B, which extends Language A. I succesfuly reused a few elements of Language A that I need, but I want to reuse the existing edges.
For instance, in Language A there is a Node called "Goal", which has an Edge "Cooperate" connecting 2 Goals.
In Language B, there is a Node "EspecificGoal", which extend "Goal". I want to reuse the Edge Cooperate, without changing the original one (if I change the original one it is not reuse, at all).
Is there any way of doing this?

Hi,
If "EspecificGoal" reuses (as a mapping import) the "Goal" mapping, the
only way I see is to use an Edge mapping import. However, this kind of
import is very limited: the only thing you can do is define conditional
styles.
