Add template to model wizard - MDG

[Tehila1]

I would like to create a generic structure of packages, that will be applied at the new-package wizard, as an offered template.

How can I add the new XMI file to the wizard? I use EA 12.

Simply put you cannot use to Wizard to add a model structure to your MDG

Instead you have to edit the MTS file

Check out the PDF user guide for EA v 11 beginning at page 1577

@Tehila1: As you can see there are a couple of smart guys here too ;-) I had something like that in mind but it was buried under a pile of other stuff.

Very briefly, what you need to do is add your XMI file to the "ModelPatterns" folder in EA's install path, and then add a "ModelTemplates" block to your MDG Technology XML file to tell EA where to find the XMI (or better, add the "ModelTemplates" block to your MTS file so it gets added to your technology when you build it). Open up some of the MDG Technologies in a text editor to see how we've done it.
