Error when saving the model [message #52036]

Hello,

I have a grammar and I write some code in its editor, which goes smoothly.
When saving my model through ctrl+s following error messages appear. For
each entity I create there is a similar message.
Anybody know what that could be related to?

org.xtext.example.myDsl.impl.Entity_TypeImpl cannot be cast to
java.util.Collection MyModel.mydsl /org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/model /org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator/src/model/MyModel.mydsl EMF
Problem

Hi Aurel,

seems like your metamodel expects a multi-value reference, but you
defined a single valued reference in your grammar.

Please check for patterns like
'something += Entity_Type' and 'something = Entity_Type'
in your grammar and double check them.

Hope that helps,
Sebastian

Thanks for the reply.
I checked for that construct, but it only appears once in my code and
should not be the reason. (under Injection)

Here the code for those who want to take a look, because I can't find
anything yet, mostly because there are not alot of references to
Entity_Type.

After rebuilding the whole project from scratch, the error seized to
exist. Weird, because I didn't change anything in the code.
Anyway, problem solved!

Feel free to comment my code syntactically (or esthetically) if you want,
because I am still learning. :)

From a first glance I'ld advise you to use lowercase attribute names to
increase readability of your grammar :-)
