Get Method from different Package [message #1773237]

Hi,
I have a very simple model to begin with.

I have a class "DieKlasse", that contains itself (Containment = true)
and an Attribute "YouWantNewClass".

So when I switch the attribute to true in the runtime, i want a new class to be created directly. So I dont have to right mouse click -> new child.

My Problem is, I dont know, what is necessary to do that, because createclass() is in an differant package.

I would code:

public void setYouWantNewClass(boolean newYouWantNewClass) {
boolean oldYouWantNewClass = youWantNewClass;
youWantNewClass = newYouWantNewClass;

if (youWantNewClass)
{
createDieKlasse();
}
}

But that looks to easy... and does not work at all

Any suggestion?

Sorry, I was missing posts because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=525901

You really out not to do this in your generated model. You should specialize the generated item providers. So in generated item provider where the addYouWantNewClassPropertyDescriptor you could specialize that. Perhaps org.eclipse.emf.ecore.provider.EGenericTypeItemProvider.addETypeParameterPropertyDescriptor(Object) will give you an idea how to do that.
