Detailed script

• Launch Obeo Designer
• Create an Ecore Modeling Project
  • Name = fr.obeo.dsl.tuto.mindstorms
  • Ns URI = http://www.obeo.fr/dsl/mindstorms/1.0.0
  • Use the Palette to create the EClasses: Choreography, Instruction, Action, Grab, Release, Rotate and GoForward.
    • Set Instruction and Action as abstract
  • Use the Palette to create SuperType relations:
    • from Grab, Release, Rotate and GoForward to Action
    • from Action and Choreography to Instruction
  • Use the Palette to create a Composition relation named instructions between Choreography and Instruction
  • Use the Palette to create EAttributes:
    • Choreography
      • name: EString
    • Rotate
      • degrees: EInt
      • random: EBoolean
    • GoForward
      • cm: EInt
  • Right-click on the diagram and select the menu Generate
    • Generate the Model code
    • Generate the Edit code
    • Generate the Editor code

• Edit the fr.obeo.dsl.tuto.mindstorms.edit generated project to improve the default labels and icons
  • Replace the icons contained in icons/full/obj16 by those from icons-metamodel.zip
    • Use the menu Import... > General > Archive File
  • Replace the getImage method of the class RotateItemProvider.java (in fr.obeo.dsl.tuto.mindstorms.edit) by the one defined in methods.txt

Installing the solution

Import the solution

Download solution1.zip.

Use the menu and options Import... > Existing Project into Workspace > Select archive file to import the three existing Eclipse projects contained in this archive.

These projects define the mindstorms metamodel

Launch a new runtime

Create and launch a new Eclipse Launch Configurationto simulate the installation of the Mindstorms metamodel and make it available for execution

• Click on Run > Run Configuration…

• Select Eclipse Application, click on New

• Then click on Run

• In the new runtime, import the Eclipse project contained in the archive sample.zip
  • Use the menu and options Import... > Archive File
  • It contains a sample Mindstorms model that will be used to test your modeling tool
  • You can open this model with the default editor generated by EMF

• Your environment should look like this:
