Parameters:

name - The class Name

Returns:

The new ecore class.

createAttribute

public EAttribute createAttribute(java.lang.String name)

Create a new attribute with the given name.

Parameters:

name - The attribute name.

Returns:

The new ecore class attribute.

createOperation

public EOperation createOperation(java.lang.String name)

Create a new method with the given name. Additional aspects of the method like return type and parameters must be added afterwards.

Parameters:

name - The method name.

Returns:

The new method object.

getFactory

public EcoreFactory getFactory()

Returns:

A list of EClassifiers.

getDirectSuperTypes

public static java.util.List getDirectSuperTypes(EClass c)

Parameters:

c - The class which we are querying.

Returns:

A list of classes which are direct super classes.

getLocalFeatures

public static java.util.List getLocalFeatures(EClass c)

Find a list of attributes which are not inherited from the super classes.

Parameters:

c - The class being queried.

Returns:

A list of attributes which are local to class c.

clear

public void clear()

Reset the model to its initial empty state.

getJavaType

public java.lang.String getJavaType(java.lang.String type)

A lookup function to convert ecore types to regular Java types.

Parameters:

type - The ecore type to lookup.

Returns:

A string representing the equivalent Java type if it exists, othewise the original ecore type.

exportXMI

public boolean exportXMI(java.lang.String uri)

Parameters:

uri - The location to save the file.

Returns:

Whether the serialization was successful.

importXMI

public Model importXMI(java.lang.String uri)

Deserialize an existing XMI file into an ecore Model.

Parameters:

uri - The path to the existing XMI file.

Returns:

A new Model if possible, otherwise null.
