Hi All,

I was going through the EMF refactor project.I have two questions on EMF Refactor.

(1) How are the reference searches performed when the refactoring is applied ?.
(2) Any kind of extension points provided where type of searches can be plugged-in ?

Thanks and Regards,
Saurav

Hi Saurav,

What do you exactly mean by 'reference searches'? Can you give an example?

Hi Thorsten,

Lets say i am trying to refactor one object A which is again referred by some other objects.So if i rename the Object A then the references of the Object A must be also updated.

In these cases do you perform a search of Object A's references ?

I saw you use EMF tiger which transforms the models.How does it search for the references ?.

cheers,
Saurav

Hi Saurav,

For refactoring specification we use Henshin (a successor of Tiger). We
specify the pattern that has to be found and use the Henshin match
finder to get the specific match in the model. This match finder uses
graph theory as basis.

If you are interested in the internal principles of Henshin please post
a new topic in this newsgroup concerning [Henshin] or post your question
to the Henshin mailing list (see
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/henshin-dev).

Regards,
Thorsten

For further Heshin related queries i will create a separate thread or post a question in the mailing list.
