I upgraded to the latest versions of EMF and GMF.

I have Feature Seq Initializer code in the gmfmap file to initialize
Feature Values.

I'm creating Java metods to set values. In the previous version this
worked correctly.

Now however the generated code generates the method 3 or 4 times in the
Class
providers.ElementInitializers.java

Is there a setting or attribute that i need to set inthe nwer versions.

Thanks Gary.

Hello Gary,

I have several java initializers in a diagram I'm working with and it looks
like current version of generator works properly in this situation.. I suggest
you to delete this class completely and try to regenerate it - this could
be a problem of code merging functionality incorrectly merging newly generated
class content with the old one. In this case you have to manually copy correct
initializers body into the newly generated code..

I have tried this and the newly generated code still generates 3 or 4
methods for each initializer. Do you wnat to see any examples of what we
are doing or experiencing.

Alex after some investigation. It looks like the process generates a
duplicate methods for every level that we nest a Feature Seq Initializer.

For example:

At the top level node we have an Feature Seq Initializer and a Feature
Value Spec for the id. This generates one getId() method.

We then Initialize a child element with a Feature Seq Initializer, and
create a getName() method using Feature Value Spec. This generates 2
getName() methods.

We then initialize a third level using Feature Seq Initializer for a
CollectType and Initalize a maxNumber with Featue Value Spec
getMaxNumber() and it generate 3 getMaxNumber() methods.

In the Eclipse 3.3.0 version
EMF 2.3.0
GMF SDK 2.0.0
This worked fine

However in
In the Eclipse 3.3.1.1 version
EMF 2.3.1
GMF SDK 2.0.1

In the Eclipse 3.4.0 version
EMF 2.4.0
GMF SDK 2.0.1

I am seeing the duplicate methods being generated

Hello Gary,

Can you please file a bug for it with the stripped down example of the model
leading us to these compilation errors?
