    I just can't grok this EOGenerator thing.

    After reading as much... I decided to do the following:

    1) wipe out all the fields in the Eclipse WOLips Preferences so that
    the built in would work.
    2) Right click on one of the three models in my project. to create the
    eogen file.
    3) Right clicked on that to generate the EOs.
    4) Now my project is bleeding red?! ..$%
    5) It seems as though my relations are not being seen now.

    What did I miss?
