[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Loading GMF namespaces for workflows in

[Bill Hinge <steve.orobec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Alex

I did create a workaround by copying notation.ecore to my local project
and referencing it, this solved the problem with the MWE Reader. It's
not a perfect soln as it could break if any underlying locally copied
ecores change. Hence I was just wondering if anyone else had come across
a similar situation in their use case. I'm just wondering if my use case
is covered by current implementations?

I did look at the GMF soln earlier but I found it slightly confusing due
to a lack of commenting in some of the GMF code, hopefully some examples
may be available in future? I agree that it's probably the long term 
soln but at this time I'm just looking for a quick imp soln.

I've almost got the MWE workflow working but having issues with my
templates using xpand2 (I get the red error symbols on my templates even
when configured via code completion, when run they are giving
some strange error). The encoding is a bit of a pain also.
I will post to the appropriate group however.


thanks again
Steve
