[news.eclipse.modeling.gmt] Re: [TCS] Is "autoCreate=ifmissing" usable?

I finally reported this issue on the Bugzilla. Sorry for the delay.

I tried "createIn", but the result is worse than with "lookIn".

With "lookIn", duplicate elements were created, and actually I observe 
that all elements were added to the context. In the example below, 
template "VariableRefExpression" does not produce "name not found" errors 
during injection.

template Assignment :
variable{refersTo=name, lookIn=owningProgram.variables, 
autoCreate=ifmissing} "=" expression ";";

template VariableRefExpression :
variable{refersTo=name};

With "createIn", duplicate elements are still created, but none are added 
to the context (or maybe not to the desired context). The injector fails 
to resolve variable names in "VariableRefExpression".

Best regards,

Guillaume
