[luctorQ]

Hi , I just installed your plugin , and have some problems with it:
after setup as described http://emf-rest.com/install.html (clean eclipse and only emf-rest plugin)
right click on model shows menu EMF-REST and Generate All I see exception in Error Log as below
any special confgiguration is required or I missed something?

ok I shoul read carefully documentation, so I've read previous issue #2 and figured out that there is necessary models folder in WebContent, But maybe autocreate this folder is an issue to fix because imho there is no reason to prevent code generation.

Hi thanks for reply,
it's great info because Your efforts in exposing emf models as REST services are indeed very needed in technology evolving toward web.
