Hi Roberto,
Sorry for the late reply.
Looks good. You should also: - Subclass your classes from MooseEntity - The FAMIXVisitor is more for the code meta-model. In your case, your meta-model is separate, so you probably do not need this particular Visitor. - You should also reinitialize the meta-repository to see your objects properly: MooseModel resetMeta - Regarding the type of a property pointing to FileSystemGitRepository, you probably do not need to add this as a property at all because FileSystemGitRepository will not be serialized. However, if you need to have it in the browser, then indeed, best use #Object.
Cheers, Doru

Hi guys,
I modeled a Git repository in Smalltalk. My first class objects are:
- GitterAuthor
- GitterRevision, and
- GitterRepository
I want to have a Moose model (i.e., an extension of FAMIX), so that I can use all the tool suite of Moose.
I have a couple of questions on that since I don't find a good explanation on how to do that. Let me describe what I did.
For each of the classes listed above:
- I create a class side method 'annotation' as follows
GitterRepository class>>annotation <MSEClass: #GitterRepository super: #Object> <package: #Gitter>
- For each of the accessor of the instance variables I added the pragmas as follows:
GitterRepository>>authors <MSEProperty: #authors type: #GitterAuthor > <multivalued> <MSEComment: 'Authors appearing as committers in this Repository.'>
The first question is what can be the choice for the type of a property? As far as I understood I can have Number, String, and one of the classes belonging to the model. But what if an instance variable has type, for example FileSystemGitRepository. Should I put #Object in the type or what else?
- The last thing I did is to create an accept method to add the visitor, as follows
GitterRepository>>accept: aVisitor aVisitor visitGitterRepository: self.
Then implemented FAMIXImportingVisitor>>visitGitterRepository: aGitterRepository self visitEntity: aGitterRepository .
I'm wondering if I did everything needed and how can I test it in a way..
