[cosmic-users] Error importing xme file created by tao_picml

[Prakash Manghwani]

Hi Jeff,
I got the latest version of cosmic from CVS as of yesterday and went 
through the entire process of compiling and registering with GME. xme file 
gets imported correctly, but when I generate an idl, it does not contain 
datatype that I just imported. Here is contents of generated idl file.


#ifndef NEWFILE_IDL
#define NEWFILE_IDL

module test_module
{
};

#endif // NEWFILE_IDL
