| <h2>Shared Model Editing Using GraphShare</h2> |
| <p>The Shared Data Graph Editor allows a group of Eclipse users |
| connected to the same container group to collaboratively edit arbitrary |
| EMF-generated models. It is an example application that shows how to |
| use the GraphShare service.</p> |
| <h3>Prerequisites</h3> |
| <p>In addition to ECF, you will need:<br> |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Eclipse 3.1M4+</li> |
| <li>EMF+SDO 2.1.0.I2005+<br> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <h3>Steps</h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In your workspace, create a simple project, e.g. <span |
| style="font-style: italic;">test</span>.</li> |
| <li>Use the ECF Collaboration Client to connect to a collaboration |
| server (local or remote).</li> |
| <li>Create a sample file to collaboratively edit:</li> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the Navigator view, right-click your newly-created project |
| and select <span style="font-style: italic;">New -> Other...</span></li> |
| <li>Select <span style="font-style: italic;">Example EMF Model |
| Creation Wizards -> Data Graph Model</span> and click <span |
| style="font-style: italic;">Next</span>.</li> |
| <li>Choose a unique filename for your new model. Note that the full |
| workspace path of this file (including the project and all folders) is |
| very important -- it is what identifies the model among the peers. |
| Click <span style="font-style: italic;">Next</span>.</li> |
| <li>Select <span style="font-style: italic;">http:///org/eclipse/ecf/example/library.ecore</span> |
| as the model URI and <span style="font-style: italic;">Library</span> |
| as the Model Object. Click <span style="font-style: italic;">Finish</span>.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <li>If you are the first one to share this file, you will see an |
| empty Library. If someone else already published this model, you will |
| get the initial copy from them.</li> |
| <li>Make changes to the model. When you save, your changes will be |
| broadcast to others. When someone else saves, your unsaved changes, if |
| any, will be thrown away and replaced by theirs.<br> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
