[EOL] Getting container of a model element [message #1829984]

I am currently trying to work my way around ETL to migrate models from one metamodel version to another. I now have a rough understanding of how it works, and have been able to write some easy migration rules. The proble I have right now is that I do not know how to get the container of a given model element.
This would be useful for my transformations, for example to create new elements and add them in the right container.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jean,

You can use EMF's eContainer() [1] method for this.

Thanks,
Dimitris
