Ian,
From a thread in the EMF newsgroup, it sounds like there is some Mac issue with the default selection in the drop down. I gather that if you choose a different choice and then the choice you want, the finish button will enable.

Thanks for the clue Ed,

Ian

I am working throug the eclipse Modeling Project book and have installed the galileo DSL Toolkit (1.0.0M8)for 32-bit windows along with Java 6, update 16.
Building the project results in 203 build errors and 29 warnings. The majority of these errros are in 5 Xpand files in the dnc project. There are also some problems in mindmap2xhtml.qvto.

Should the 1.0.0M8 DSL Toolkit build cleanly?

If so, any suggestions you may have to correct these issues are appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm working my way through Richard's DSL Toolkit book.
I've genreated my model, and then generated the editor from it. I've then run the target application (as instructed on Page 44). I've created a blank General project, and have requested a new Mindmap Model using the EMF Model Creation Wizard. I've selected Map as the Model Object, but the Finish button is still disabled. The page of the wizard is showing a valid Model Object and XML encoding, but only Back and Cancel are enabled.

Note, this problem doesn't arise running the toolkit under Windows XP.

Regards,
Ian

Should the 1.0.0M8 DSL Toolkit build cleanly?

I have started reading Richards book "The Eclipse Modeling Project" but I have a problem the Amalgam update site referred to in the book.

I found the project's home page (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/). The download page (http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/dsltk/downloads/drops/S20090703-0844/index.php) provides a .zip file which seems to contain a stand-alone DSL toolkit.

However, I would prefer to add/integrate that DSL toolkit to my already existing Galileo setup and I would prefer to handle that installation using the Eclipse update manager.

However, neither the amalgam page nor the page behind the link "Update Manager" (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/updates/) seems to point to a valid Eclipse update site. I always only get the message "No repository found at ....". Also the link provided on the 1.0.0M8 download page behind the word "URL" in "... the DSL Toolkit may be installed using p2 by pointing to this URL " yields the same error message only.

Is there a valid Eclipse update site somewhere to download and install that DSL toolkit and the examples into an existing Eclipse Galileo release?

Or some instructions on how and where from to collect the equivalent of all the described tools and install them in Galileo?

Hi again Sergey,

I have been testing the example you told me about in a previous post ( the one that transforms Uml into Xhtml). But I have some compilation problems. One of them is related to the construct keyword. It seems that the compiler doesn't recognize it.

Is this question related to the qvto release I'm working with? I'm using the 1.0.1 release.

    Best regards and thanks for your answers,
        Toñi

Yes, I've suggested two ways:
1. Coupling with Xpand by means of Ant script.
2. Providing black-box library for qvto to achieve desired behavior.

As far as I understood, they are two alternative ways of solving the problem, aren't they?

Hi Toñi ,

There's no direct way to express arbitrary number of output models in qvto engine.

Described scenario can be archived like follows:
- using Ant script. First invocation of qvto engine would create output model with root objects each for separate entity. Then this model can be processed with Xpand template to save each entity to physical file.
- using Java black-box library with qvto script. Such library can take same model produced by qvto script (with arbitrary number of root objects) and then save each object as system file.

Hi all,

my question is related to the mindmap2xhtml (included in the book Eclipse Modeling Project: A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Toolkit) or the Uml2Xhtml example that Sergey has mentioned in his answer to my previous question ('org.eclipse.m2m/org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml/examples/org.eclipse.m2m.qvt.oml.econ2009.tutorial').


In both cases a unique xhtml file is generated that contains all the mindmap information, in the first example, and all the uml model information in the second one. But what if I want to generate different xhtml files, one for each topic, in the first example, and one for each class in the second one.

In both cases the number of instances of the output metamodel is variable, because it depends on the number of topics in the first example, and on the number of classes in the second one. My question is: is there any way of specifying this in qvto?
