Hello,

I have a question for ATL/KM3. How to specify a km3 metamodel that extends
another km3 metamodel which is defined somewhere else? Do I need to set up
any path to guide the km3 parser to find the superclass?

Thanks,
Jing

Hello,

You can use the generic editor, as if you were creating a complete KM3
metamodel. However, the editor will indicate syntax errors, since it
cannot refer to the extended elements.

We have a typical case of metamodel extension when using the AMW
plug-in. We define an extension like that:

class Attribute extends WLinkEnd {
}

The WLinkEnd class is defined in a core weaving metamodel. In this
particular case, it is not necessary to set up any path, because the
core metamodel is extended automatically when using the AMW tool.

Regards,

Marcos.
