Re: [modeling-pmc] Ecore Tools

Agreed, the annoying problem now in the modeling package is that when you turn on GMF Development, have two competing Ecore Diagram entries in your UI.

I raised https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=303253 for this.

Cheers...

Re: [modeling-pmc] Ecore Tools



Well, they seem to serve a different purpose -- the GMF one being an example, though I agree that it might appear to conflict with the Ecore Tools Editor at a first glance and cause confusion to the uninitiated.

It doesn't sound fair to require GMF to remove it, but I think creating a different example could be a workable compromise :-)

            Hi Ed,

            With regards to Ecore Tools. We should add an item to next week's PMC meeting about this, but how about this for a proposal:

            GMF has an Ecore Editor
        I believe this is a purely generated editor that's intended as an example.
            and Modeling has an Ecore Tools project, which also has an Ecore Editor.
        While this one is hand tuned to actually be usable. For example, it shows paired opposite EReferences as a single line...
            I am interested in seeing these editors combined so we have one Ecore editor (diagramming feature) in the Eclipse modeling package.
        I'm not sure the one in GMF serves any purpose currently, other than being an example. I'm pretty sure the Ecore Tools one is in fact a tailored generated version...

            Towards this end goal, I can help with release engineering support for the Ecore Tools project.
        I just want to be sure that the intent is to preserve and perhaps even enhance the cool things in Ecore Tools rather than to fall back on the relatively crude version in GMF...

            Cheers...
            Anthony
