Hello,
how can i know the classes that an Uml element (class type )extends, and the interfaces that the type implements.

For example if i have a class X that extends a class A, and implements Interface I, and i have uml element with types X.
How can get this values(A,I) from the uml element type X?

Can you help me?

Thanks,
Andres

Once you have the class at hand (org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class):

#getSuperClasses()

#getImplementedInterfaces()

Doesn't get any easier than that...

If you have a property:

Class myPropertyType = (Class) myProperty.getType();

Cheers,

If you are a developer then Rafael answer is exactly what you need.

If you are a modeler then the easiest is to use an existing tool. You can graphically create implementation or reverse existing code.
Topcased can detect implementation from the code but all code information will not be saved in the model and it would be really painful to create views from a model. If you are lazy and have budget then just use EclipseUML Omondo because it would do the job for you.

You will spend more playing Golf or being with your family and let other lads work late in the evening to do what already exist.
Don't forget that your company will not give any gratitude if you save them software purchase because this is another budget !!

Personally I enjoyed reading your answer, Vlad. May I humbly ask if these kind of postings begun your special friendship with Mr. Merks?

On that note, if you are not a developer, this is probably not the right forum for you, as UML2 is essentially an API, with no (significant) user-facing features.
