Create new model elements in EOL [message #1804189]

Hi all,
my question is probably trivial.
How to create new model elements, e.g., via EOL functions?
In the past, I solved this use case for EMF model by integrating via Java extensions, the EcoreUtil or UmlUtil then invoking the create() methods. It worked.
However, I am not sure that it is the best practise and I would like to know if it is possible without any external java tool.
Thanks in advance,

Luca

Hi Luca,

Alternatively you can use the "new" keyword which delegates to createInstance() behind the scenes e.g.

var c : new Class;

Cheers,
Dimitris
