Hi,

is the error in the Editor or if you call the workflow?

Hi,

which metamodel contributor is enabled in your projects properties (xtend/xpand section)?
if emf => is the ecore on the classpath
if not change to emf

Make sure that if the .ecore file contains platform:/resource URIs that these URIs are valid in the workspace.

i've created my .ecore with a .ecore_diagram and, i've set those informations (like you can se in this image)
Quote:

Name: mindmap
NS Prefix:mindmap
NS URI: h_t_t_p://www.eclipse.org/2008/mindmap

By valid uri what do you mean? the uri must have some kind of standard structure or i can choose something random like h_t_t_p://www.uri.com/mindmap??

The NS URI just needs to be unique. Question is if the URIs *in* the ecore XMI are valid. Usually they are, so don't be confused so much from my post. It is just that I saw Ecore files with references where the reference URIs were not valid, which leads to such an error in the editor.

i've tried some different uri but the error remains, so i think that the error must be somewhere else.

Hello Karsten,

i can reproduce the problem. i dont see where the ProjectAnalyzer of
Xtend does use the EMF Registry.
if i start a runtime eclipse the analyzer does not seem to scan the bin
folder or whatever eclipse creates for the host workspace.

=> the ecore will not be found unless you copy & paste it to the
runtime eclipse

Hi,

just take the .ecore file and copy it next to the xpand file
