Editing the metamodel.xml File Directly

You can use the metamodel.xml tab to view an editable text version of the metamodel.xml file for the extension you are developing.

For more information about this file and for examples of the code created automatically by the other options in Isight Developer (and displayed on the metamodel.xml tab), see About Isight Extensions.

  1. Click the metamodel.xml tab on the right side of the Isight Developer Perspective.

  2. View and edit the displayed XML definition, as desired.

    This information is provided in this format in case it is easier to work directly with the XML definition itself (for example, if you want to copy and paste a few lines of XML).

    Important: Any changes made to this tab will supersede changes made using the other tabs.

  3. Click to save your changes to the extension.
