Method Detail

getID

public static java.lang.String getID(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.ENamedElement element)

Gets the ID of a meta-model element. The ID of a meta-model element is the fully qualified name of the element going up to the root EPackage.

Parameters:

element - The Meta-model element.

Returns:

The ID.

---

getElement

public static org.eclipse.emf.ecore.ENamedElement getElement(java.lang.String id)

Gets meta-model element by ID.

Parameters:

id - The element ID.

Returns:

The meta-model element.

---

getLocalizedName

public static java.lang.String getLocalizedName(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.ENamedElement element)

Gets the localized name of a meta-model element. The name will not contain spaces.

Parameters:

element - The meta-model element.

Returns:

The localized name of the meta-model element.

---

getDisplayName

public static java.lang.String getDisplayName(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.ENamedElement element)

Gets the localized display name of a meta-model element. Display name may contain spaces.

NOTE: This should be used to make model changes (e.g. name an element). When displaying strings in the UI (menus, dialogs, etc.) get the string from one of our resource managers.

Parameters:

element - The meta-model element.

Returns:

The localized name of the meta-model element.

canContain

public static boolean canContain(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass class1,
                                 org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass class2,
                                 boolean recursive)

Checks if a container EClass can contain another EClass. The check can be recursive.

Parameters:

class1 - The container EClass.

class2 - The contained EClass.

recursive - True if recursive.

Returns:

True if an object can contain other objects of a given type.

---

canContain

public static boolean canContain(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass class1,
                                 org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference reference,

                                 boolean recursive)

Checks if a container EClass can contain another EClass at a given containment reference. The check can be recursive.

Parameters:

class1 - The container EClass.

reference - The reference.

class2 - The contained EClass.

recursive - True if recursive.

Returns:

True if an object can contain other objects of a given type.

---

canReference

Parameters:

class1 - The referencer EClass.

class2 - The referenced EClass.

Returns:

True if an object can contain other objects of a given type.

---

canReference

public static boolean canReference(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass class1,
                                   org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference reference,
                                   org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EClass class2)
