[news.eclipse.modeling.amalgam] couple of useability questions

[Bill Hinge <steve.orobec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've just started using amalgam and I like it.

I have previously used a commercial GMF based tool & the vanilla 
Eclipse. I liked the commercial product but it seems that amalgam gives
a bit better low level support ie creation of gmfmap and generator
models when doing complex things.

I noticed that when I create a gmfmap diagram that my DSL attributes are
not automatically created unlike in commercial tools. This may be a bit
of a pain if I need to recreate the file. Is there an easier way of
doing adding attributes?

Also I note that if I make changes to the gmfmap etc, the gmfgen doesn't
seem to be updated automatically. Is there a way of ensuring my
gmfgen is updated?


I had a look but I didn't notice a way of creating figure gallery (as
found in the commercial tools - does this exist? I'm thinking of the
ability to set RGB colours etc ;)

regards
Steve
