Runtime

org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.core.util
Class ViewRefactorHelper

java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.core.util.ViewRefactorHelper

public class ViewRefactorHelper
extends java.lang.Object

A helper class to perform notational refactoring based on a semantic refactoring. The helper provides a typical or generic implementation of the refactoring operation based on the Notation metamodel. However, if the notations being refactoring use other extended notation metamodels, the implementation of this helper class might need to be extended. This can be achieved by directly subclassing this helper class.
