UML Operation Object to EOperation [message #477778]

I'm trying to map my org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Operation to an
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EOperation. I know that the uml classes are built
on top of EObject, but my question is there any easy way to convert UML to
EObject?

I guess a way to do this would be map only the attributes I need like name
visibility, return type, parameters, etc..) something like this, but
before I start it'd be nice if there was a simpler approach.

protected EOperation createUOpertion2EOperation(
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Operation umlOperation){

EOperation eOperation = EcoreFactory.eINSTANCE.createEOperation();
//get umlOperation (type, name, parameters, etc) and map to eOperation

return eOperation;
}

Hi Roshan,

Have a look at the UML2EcoreConverter as part of UMLUtil. It will convert
from UML to the corresponding Ecore representation.
You can also use the UML editor to access this functionality from a menu
item.

Thanks James,

UML2EcoreConverter seems like i would work, but I'm not sure if I am using
it correctly. I keep getting null as my return object.

UML2EcoreConverter uml = new UML2EcoreConverter();
Object obj = uml.caseModel(umlModel);

Hi Roshan,

Have a look at the ConvertToEcoreModelAction.java . It all starts
UMLUtil.covnertToEcore(...).
Under the hood, the UML2EcoreConverter.convert() is the reall entry point.

Cheers,
- James.
