Hello,
I am trying to find the type of a model element in one of my wizards.
For example, I want the wizard to find the type of an element "A" and
print it. Could you please inform me on (EOL,I suppose) the function used?
Moreover, could you please tell me how I can find whether a reference of
a model element is null. For example, how I can find whether
A.relationToB returns null (supposing that B is not assigned to the
'relationToB' reference defined in the model)?
I was quite happy to get my hands on the EpsilonBook but I didn't find
anything related to that. I apologize for the size of the message.
Thank you in advance,
Kimon

you can use the EMF .eClass() method which returns the respective ECore
EClass.

You can check for null using the isDefined() operation. i.e.
A.relationToB.isDefined()
