Non-valid MSE files

Hi all,

i try several meta-models available here with the MSE format:
http://www.emn.fr/z-info/atlanmod/index.php/AtlanticFM3
This is very nice to be able to load them in MOOSE!

Some of them like ACME 1.2:
http://gforge.inria.fr/scm/viewvc.php/*checkout*/AtlanticFM3/ACME.mse?root=atlantic-zoos
are in fact non-valid MSE files and could not be loaded in MOOSE,
because they used multi-inheritance and FM3 meta-model define only
single inheritance between classes. There is also others problems of
conformance to MSE with some files but i didn't have too much time to
investigate.

Regards,

Hi Serge,

Moose also ships with MooseMSEFilesExplorer, a browser that lets you navigate through multiple metamodels in MSE format. I just looked into it, and I had to fix a couple of issues related to Filesystem.

If you get the very latest Moose development image, you can play with it by:
- placing all the MSE files in a 'metamodels' folder under the image
- running:
MooseMSEFilesExplorer openOn: FSDiskStore currentFilesystem workingDirectory / 'metamodels'.

You would get a browser like in the attachment.

Cheers,
Doru

Thank you Doru. I'm able to browse metamodels without problems. Very nice !
I could see all models except the one containing multiple inheritance
between classes.
I guess i have to enhance MSE parser and modify FM3 meta-meta-model if
i want to be able to view them.
No one has thought of a generation to traits (stateful traits, i guess).

BTW, there is errors when i select relationships between classes. Same
problem in the MooseMetaBrowser.

The MSE parser needs no modification, but indeed FM3 would need to be changed.
Well, we wanted for a long time to introduce both traits and class extensions in FM3, but we did not get around to do it. It would be cool if someone would play with it.

Indeed, thanks. I did not know about it. Please open a bug report:

Cheers,
Doru
