hi all,
I was wondering if I could inverse the process Profile.getDefinition->
ecorePackage. The code is based on annotations which are obviously not
there for the other way round. I saw an Ecore2UML class, does this help?
Does anybody knows what Ecore2UML does, I took a look at the API & the
code but didn't get it right away.
I don't get the point where the difference is made between e.g. a 'real'
UML-class, an an eCore instance of the UML-metaclass- I always thought
it's the same. Or is it just here the case because UML-profiles are
partly on M2/Superstructure?

Hi Stefan,
To find the corresponding UML element given the ecore element, you could
search the UML model by corresponding name.
The Ecore2UML won't help you out in this case since it is the code that
actually converts Ecore to UML, however I believe you want to discover the
mapping after you already have the ecore and uml representations.
The class Ecore2UML ( really called Ecore2UMLConverter ), converts from
Ecore to UML. It extends Ecore Switch. It's basically a big switch
statement that goes through all the ecore cases such as: caseEClass(),
caseEPackage() etc. and creates corresponding UML items for each ecore item.
It's a bit tricky to follow partially because there is code that supports
generics.
Profiles need to know about the ecore representation ( stored under the
annotation ) since the UML project uses dynamic EMF. This is because , code
for profiles is traditionally not generated, and there is a need to
manipulate instances of dynamic classes. However, with static profile
definition, you could actually generate code for your profile and would no
longer have the need for the dynamic ecore representation.
Cheers,
-James.

You might want to have a look at UMLUtil.getNamedElement() to see how this
works with profiles.
