[news.eclipse.modeling.amalgam] Re: Xpand file error? 
Hi Rich

Just tried 1.0M7

I noticed when I imported my projects from 20081128-0606 that the
chevrons had changed to ' and a weird degree character (I'm on OS X).
This is the same if I open the file in textedit, but I can cut and paste
chevrons OK from the older dsltk.

The URL works but the older format doesn't. Also the xpand nature is no longer there, I downloaded the examples from the welcome screen for good
measure. On both my templates and the examples, ctrl-space doesn't seem
to work. Am I missing something?

If I wish to use xpand code generation (for demo purposes - just looking
for something basic an easy at the moment that I can run from a plugin
or rcp) - what would you recommend as a build/plugin set?


regards
Steve

I'm afraid the errors are "normal" for this build, using the original Xpand
(which doesn't support URI-based imports, btw).  The GMF-based Xpand has
much improved the situation in the current release train.

The workflow file wizard provides no default content.  As both the newer
GMF-based Xpand and QVT both support Ant invocation, there is little need
for these files when using the current release train.

Sorry for the bad news.

Best,
Rich

Hi

I'm using Amalgam at the moment.

I've created a DSL project, generated model and diagram code etc.

I've also used the GMF-XPand wizard to create an xpand file in templates

If I use ctrl-space I can correctly see a list of selectable dsl's for
me to import. If I pick them I get something like <<IMPORT contract>>,
<<IMPORT uml>> etc which is what I expect. (I also have Xpand Nature
turned on by the way.) The "URI" import doesn't seem to be supported
here.

I can then build up my template as expected by using ctrl-space etc.
But when I save I get a red error flag against each import statement
despite them appearing to be working. In my dependencies I have the
following


Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.core.runtime,
  org.eclipse.emf.ecore;visibility:=reexport,
  org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi;visibility:=reexport,
  org.eclipse.uml2.uml;visibility:=reexport,
  org.eclipse.xpand;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  org.eclipse.xtend;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf;bundle-version="0.7.0",
  org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core;bundle-version="0.7.0"
Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy

Any ideas please? is this a symptom of some other error?
(DSL toolkit Build id: 20081128-0606)

Also the workflow wizard just seems to create an empty text file
with no context editing support, is this really all I should get?
