Checking whether two objects have the same type [message #479398]

Hi everyone,

I needed today to check whether two objects in my model had the same
type, and I didn't find anything in the documentation. However, there's
such an operation in o.e.e.eol.execute.operations.simple.TypeOperation,
which returns the type name as a String. Seems to work just fine for any
type.

Should I prepare a patch for the table of operations of the Any type in
the Epsilon book and report a bug for this?

Regards,
Antonio

Hey Antonio,

Thanks for reporting the problem. I think that type() was introduced
while the book was being written. Apologies for the omission!

I had a couple of minutes this evening, and a copy of the Epsilon book
on my hard disk, so I've made the changes and committed to SVN. This bug
report covers the issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=286181

Thanks for offering to prepare a patch. The full source for the book is
available in SVN, so feel free to suggest and/or submit any further
patches. Cheers!

Best,
Louis.
