Description Justin Spadea CLA 2011-09-26 15:16:44 EDT 
externalType abc type EClassProxy {
	proxiedEClass = org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.EGLClass
}
end

If you generate the system parts, you get a whole bunch of classes that shouldn't be created, each with compile errors (which doesn't surprise me since they shouldn't be created in the first place).

The EClassProxy type of ExternalType gets compiled into an EClassProxy, not an ExternalType.  If you look at abc.eglxml you'll see something like this.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<EClassProxy ID="1" eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.EClassProxy" name="abc" fileName="y/Simba.egl" hasCompileErrors="false" packageName="y" isAbstract="false" proxiedEClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.EGLClass" >
	<annotations ID="2" eClass="dynMof:org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.Annotation:EGL_Location" len="i:94" off="i:168" line="i:12" />
	<superTypes href="egl:eglx.lang.eany"/>
</EClassProxy>


The outer tag around the other kinds of ExternalTypes is <ExternalType>.  The generator knows not to generate anything from ExternalTypes, but it's never heard of an EClassProxy.

We'll add code to properly ignore an EClassProxy sometime in the future.

This was fixed when we added the ability for generators to indicate that they don't know how to generate something.  You'll get an error message like "IWN.JavaGen.9951.e 14/313 The part abc cannot be generated using generator named: Java."
