Hi,

Just to be sure, you're using the "ganymede" version of the DSL Tookit and
examples, right? 
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/dsltk/downloads/drops/I20081128
-0606/index.php

In the runtime instance, there are likely errors in the error log to help
identify the source of the problem.  I suspect that something is amiss in
your mapping model.

One more tip is to look in CVS.  The solutions to the example projects are
found there, while the .dsl projects themselves are able to be extracted
from /Examples in the New dialog, or from the Welcome page.

Best,
Rich
