Hi all,

I is often asked for automated validation on saving a diagram. We could add such a boolean property to the genmodel. I think of GenEditor or GenDiagram. I did not take a closer look on how the modified templates would look like, but I could do so if this is of interest. The templates should not be to hard to change to this case. I currently have this custom template running.

«IMPORT 'http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/2009/GenModel'»
«EXTENSION xpt::editor::Utils»

«AROUND additions FOR gmfgen::GenEditorView-»
/**
	 * @generated
	 */
	@Override
	public void doSave(org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor progressMonitor) {
		xxx.diagram.part.ValidateAction.runValidation(this.getDiagram());
		
		super.doSave(progressMonitor);
	}
«ENDAROUND»

«AROUND doSaveAs FOR gmfgen::GenEditorView-»
	«EXPAND xpt::Common::generatedMemberComment»
public void doSaveAs() {
	xxx.diagram.part.ValidateAction.runValidation(this.getDiagram());
	
	performSaveAs(new org.eclipse.core.runtime.NullProgressMonitor());
}
«ENDAROUND»

I think this would be needed to be extended to ask for the flag in the genmodel and the package for the Validation action will be needed to be retrieved dynamically.
