EMF Howto’s

Hints, tips and tricks concerning the use of the EMF API’s.

Initializing a ResourceSet

When using a ResourceSet object with the EMF-UML2 profile (as in various of the tutorials), you must build a map of URI mappings, as these are used internally by the UML2 metamodel. Each of these mappings maps a logical URI to a physical URI.

Saving the EMF model to XML File

 public void saveModel(EObject project)
{
 try{
  @SuppressWarnings(“unused”)
  URI fileURI = URI.createFileURI(“data/test1.xml”);
  Resource poResource = new XMLResourceFactoryImpl().createResource(fileURI);
  poResource.getContents().add(project);
  poResource.save(null);
 } catch(Exception ex)
 {
  ex.printStackTrace();
 }
}
