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

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi,

I just updated both the IDL importer and the IDL generator,
rebuilt and reregistered, and tried your example. The empty
module shows up both in the model and in the IDL generated
from it.

What's puzzling is that an empty module is illegal IDL. Since
the IDL importer uses the existing IDL compiler parsing engine,
this error should be reported. I'll look into that - as of now
I don't know why you are not seeing the module in generated
IDL. Just for a sanity check, was GME running with the imported
model loaded when you rebuilt & reregistered the IDL generator?
If so, close GME, reopen it and reimport the xme file.
