Hi,
I am still working on an Ecore Importer in Moose and I need some advices
for a particular point.
Here is the context: First, I managed to generate code from a meta-model
conformed to Ecore. Then I managed to import into Moose instances of this
meta-model in generating allmethods in MooseModel.
For the moment, there is no visualisation for the instances imported.
That's why I think it could be great if I generated generic visualisations
with my code generator.
I had a look on FAMIX entities to see how some visualisations are
implemented, but it's still difficult for me to know how I could generate
generic visualisations.
What do you think about it?
thank you for your help

Hi Sara,
Your meta-model of chicken and eggs sounds really nice :). Did you
also manage to have relationships between entities?
Currently, we synchronize the meta-descriptions only manually. But,
indeed it would be nice if we could recompute the meta-descriptions
at compile time or unload time. This is part of the future work, and
until then .
I saw that you used System reinitializeDefaultSystem. However, at the
moment in the case of Moose you need to call AbstractEntity
initializeAllMofDescriptions, or just used from the VW main menu:
Tools/Moose Utilities/Reinitialize meta descriptions. This deals with
some specific meta-annotations related to Moose.
Cheers,
Doru
