[MTL] How to register ecore metamodel for the editor? [message #57317]

Hi,
I'm developing an ecore metamodel and want to generate code via MTL. But
the editor does not recognize my ecore URI. Will there be some kind of
mapping dialog similar to QVT (where I can map URIs to their
corresponding ecore files)?

I can generate the model code (genmodel), start a runtime workbench and
work there, then the MTL editor recognizes my generated model. But I'd
prefer not to launch a second eclipse instance.

Kind Regards,
Andreas

Andreas,

We have the same constraints as EMF on this : if the metamodel URI
hasn't been registered you cannot write templates on it. You can either
create a dynamic instance of your metamodel (I think this makes EMF
register the nsURI), or use the AM3's right-click action "register
metamodel". I believe MTL would recognize your metamodel in such cases,
though this hasn't been tested.
