[gme-users] differences between representations

[hernandf at cis.uab.edu]

I have two questions: (I'm using GME 4.3.17)

1) Let's say that i define a model entity (using the MetaGME paradigm) with
   these attributes:
	- name: mResources
	- Displayed name: Computers

   I interpret the metamodel and generate the corresponding new paradigm.
   When working with the new paradigm, if I create a new mResources entity
   in the model it will, automatically, have the name NewComputers. If I
   check the properties of this element i get that the kind is Computers.
   However, if i export the model to an XML file i get that the kind is
   mResources and the name is NewComputers.
   I would like to know if someone can explain me why that happens? i would 
   think that the kind wouldn't change from the model to its XML 
   representation. I still haven't checked what would be the kind if I 
   access the model from an    interpreter.

2) The new Java version to access the BON2 interface is really good, I think
   that it reduces the development time a lot. What I would like to ask is 
   if there's some way to change the icon that appears in the toolbar once 
   the interpreter is registered. I'm trying to generate two different 
   interpreters for the same model, and it would be better if i shouldn't
   have to wait 'til the tooltip appears to know which button to use.

thanks in advance,

Francisco
