Optimal way of getting superclass hierarchy of a given uml Class [message #474730]

Hi,

Given a UML Class hierarchy:
GrandParentFoo > ParentFoo > ChildFoo
If I have ChildFoo, what is the most optimal way of getting the list of
super classes [ParentFoo, GrandParentFoo] (in no particular order)? Note:
I don't declare multiple super classes in the same level. What I do now is
I call getSuperClasses() and get the first one recursively.

Thanks,
Francis

Francis,

Classifier#allParents() will give you all of the general classifiers, which,
for a class, should all be classes...
