[jwt-dev] AW: JWT metamodel extension spec

["Florian Lautenbacher" <florian.lautenbacher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marc, hi all,

thanks for the JWT metamodel extensions spec. I'll have a look at it soon.
Concerning your problems with the display just a short explanation:
Everything that is displayed in the workflow editor (doesn't matter whether
it is properties or model elements themselves) is only visible, if it is
defined in the selected view.
You can find the tool agil-view on the Eclipse CVS. There you can load any
.view-file (like business.view or technical.view) and can select which parts
shall be displayed. Every time you add a new property or a new model
element, these views need to be created again with the selection of the new
property/model element - otherwise it won't be shown somewhere in the
editor.
Currently the agil-view is a Swing-tool. It should be changed into an
Eclipse plugin using SWT, but we didn't have the resources for that until
now.

Best regards,

Florian

Hi Christian, Florian

I'd like to know
   * how to make visible dynamic and static additions to the
WEMetaModel.ecore in the Outline and in the property view. I've found the
Outline class, I've generated the model and edit and it works well including
saving, but nothing is displayed...
   * Chris, how what I say pans out with your ideas about JWT metamodel .

Regards,
Marc
