two diagram views on one model [message #157190]

Hello to all,

I have one MetaModel which contains all elements. At the end I will have one
editor which has one model file and two diagram files. In both diagram files
I want to see another view of the model. The model file contains all
elements of the two diagram files.

Now I have two gmftool, gmfmap and gmfgen files in one project. Both gmfgen
files generate the diagram code into the .diagram project. I think, they
have to be generated into different projects, because the plugin.xml is
always overwritten if I start one of the generation processes.

In the diagram files are some elements pointing to the same model element in
the model file.

Is there a workaround about this problem? Or a tutorial? I didn't find
anything belongs to this topic.

Best regards,
Benjamin Holtz

Hello Benjamin,

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_GenModel_Hints. You have to made all the
properties mentioned as "unique" in that document really unique in your .gmfgen
model.

Ok, I maked the IDs unique. Now I can model two diagrams in the editor. But
each diagram has got his own model file. If I want to use the same model
file, the wizard says that this file already exists. What is wrong?

Ho Benjamin,

You may also use the generated menu item "Initialize XYZ diagram file"
to create a diagram based on an existing model file.

Best regards,
Boris

I think, all diagrams will have the same tools when they are initialized in
this case. But I want, that each instance has got his own tooling
definition.
I think I will let two model and two diagram files in the editor and will
reference the model files among each other.

Hi Benjamin,

If you create a XYZ diagram and then initialize ZYX diagram based on the
same file, you will get two completely different notational models
referencing the same underlying model. These two will have their own set
of tools, editparts and whatever else.

Best regards,
Boris
