finding all specializations of a classifier [message #473028]

Is there any EMF or UML2 utility or trick for finding all
specializations of a classifier? I will only search among models loaded
in the same ResourceSet. I am wondering if there is something more
efficient than a UMLSwitch that tests all Generalizations in the tree
iterator.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

I belive you could do something like ...

myClassifier.getTargetDirectedRelationships(UMLPackage.Liter als.GENERALIZATI
ON);

... then call getSources() from all those relationships. That should give
you all the elements that directly specialize your classifier.

You might also want to look at Element.getRelationships(...).

Hope that helps.

Thanks, James, exactly what I was looking for. I can always count on
the UML2 newsgroup for a lightening fast response :-)
