How to get stereotypes after loading XMI resource [message #1863954]

Hi,

I am using the UML2 libraries and I can read in XMI resources.

I can traverse through the model and see all of the packages, classes, associations, connectors etc...

I know the classes have stereotypes applied. I can see it in the XMI as well.

But all of these methods return empty. I traversed the model and tried them on all model elements.
getApplicableStereotypes
getAppliedStereotypes
getRequiredStereotypes
getStereotypeApplications

After loading the resource, do I need to do something else to make this work?

Thank you for your time and patience.

I was loading an XMI file which used all OMG references for namespaces and profile application.
To fix the missing SysML stereotypes, I added to the file the expected namespaces and profile application sections used by the EMF/UML/XMI libraries. I copied them from an export to XMI I had.
I get the expected results from the API method calls now.
I knew this but I guess I had forgotten.

I'll respond back once I've looked into the custom profiles.
I've loaded the profiles using the API but have other work before I will get back to this and try loading the XMI model again afterwards.

The first time, and indeed other times when, I tried to use the Java API, I found nothing worked. It was only after using the debugger that I found out how to correctly spell the qualified stereotype name. If the name is even a bit wrong all bets are off. To make life a bit more fun, "Ecore" and "ecore" are different profiles, and sometimes modeling tools make the name more readable, so "ecore" is rendered as "Ecore".

You may find some examples of stereotype access that work in: https://git.eclipse.org/r/plugins/gitiles/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl/+/refs/heads/master/examples/org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build/src/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/build/qvto/UML2EcoreSynthesizer.qvto
