ElementTypeRegistry getInstance()

Gets the singleton element type registry.

Returns:

the singleton element type registry

getEditHelperAdvice

public 
IEditHelperAdvice[] getEditHelperAdvice(

Returns:

the array of edit helper advice descriptors

the array of edit helper advice

getEditHelperAdvice

public 
IEditHelperAdvice[] getEditHelperAdvice(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject eObject)

getContainedTypes

public 
IElementType[] getContainedTypes(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject eContainer,

getElementType

public 
IElementType getElementType(java.lang.Object o)

Convenience method to get an element type for o.

If o is an IElementType, returns o.

If o is an EObject, returns the metamodel type registered for o's eClass in the client context that is bound to o.

If o is an IEditHelperContext, returns the element type in o if specified. Else, returns the metamodel type registered for the eClass of the EObject specified in o in the client context specified in o. If no client context is specified, then the client context bound to the EObject is used.

Returns:

o itself if it is an element type, otherwise returns the registered metamodel type
