OMEdit: Modelica.Blocks.Sources.RealExpression is unusable

There is a problem with getComponentAnnotations API. It returns empty string if the component annotation does not start with Placement.

In RealExpression, IntegerExpression and BooleanExpression the component annotation starts with Dialog so getComponentAnnotations fails.

I changed now locally so we have for this script:
{{{ ann.mos
loadModel(Modelica); getErrorString();
getComponentAnnotations(Modelica.Blocks.Sources.RealExpression); getErrorString();
getComponentAnnotations(Modelica.Blocks.Sources.IntegerExpression); getErrorString();
getComponentAnnotations(Modelica.Blocks.Sources.BooleanExpression); getErrorString();
}}}
the following output:

adrpo@ida-liu050 ~/dev/OpenModelicaBackend/build/bin/ann
$ ../omc ann.mos 
true
""
{{Dialog("General","Time varying output signal",true), Placement(true,0.0,0.0,100.0,-10.0,120.0,10.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,-,-,-,-,0.0)}}
""
{{Dialog("General","Time varying output signal",true), Placement(true,0.0,0.0,100.0,-10.0,120.0,10.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,-,-,-,-,0.0)}}
""
{{Dialog("General","Time varying output signal",true), Placement(true,0.0,0.0,100.0,-10.0,120.0,10.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,-,-,-,-,0.0)}}
""

Note that this is a change in API, all getComponentAnnotations output will change\\
Is that OK with you, can you change OMEdit easily to handle this kind of change?
Let me know if this is OK with you so I can push it in.

[Adeel Asghar]

Its OK. I just have to make some updates in one class and hopefully everything will work.

[Adrian Pop]

Good, before you only got what is inside Placement now.
I run the testsuite now and push it in.

[Adrian Pop]

fixed it and changed the API in revision 9522.
