[epf-dev] I need help adding method elements to a content package

[James F Tremlett <jtremlett@xxxxxxx>]

Gang,

I have been struggling to figure out how to set up commands to add elements
to a content package.  Here is the context for my problem:
I am building Eclispe-based transforms for converting our current
methodology knowledge base to an EPF-based (UMA)  knowledge base
I have developed a viewer for our current methodology knowledge base and am
building actions to transform particular content types (e.g., term
definitions) to the EPF model
I have gotten to the point of attempting to create
MethodElementCreateChildCommands (from the
org.eclipse.epf.library.edit.command package) to add the term definition to
the selected content package.

This is where I get lost.  The indirection through the EMF command
processing makes it difficult for me to figure out how to set up the
command.  Here's what I have so far:
   // Get the content package
   ContentPackage contPackage = (ContentPackage) blackboard.get("package");

   // Create the term definition to add
   TermDefinition termDef = UmaFactory.eINSTANCE.createTermDefinition();
   termDef.setName("name");
   termDef.setPresentationName("Presentation Name");
   //termDef.set(UmaPackage.CONTENT_DESCRIPTION__MAIN_DESCRIPTION, "Main
Description");

   // create the command
   CommandParameter cParam = new CommandParameter(termDef, UmaPackage.
eINSTANCE.getTermDefinition(), null);
   Command command = MethodElementCreateChildCommand.create(editDomain,
contPackage, cParam, new ArrayList());

   // execute the command
   editDomain.getCommandStack().execute(command);

The command that is returned by the MethodElementCreateChildCommand.create
() is not executable. Remember that I am working outside the EPF UI
infrastructure.;

Any insight would be greatly appreciate.
