Hi,

I'm trying how to figure out the usage of the EditingDomain.getRoot(Object) method.

The documentation is saying this:

/**
* This returns the root of the object, i.e., .
*/
Object getRoot(Object object);

What this method is doing and how can I use it? I would really love being able to get a shortcut to obtain my model root objects. Is this method can provide me any help?

Thanks
Pierre

Pierre,

It's similar to EcoreUtil.getRootContainer but uses
ITreeItemContentProvider.getParent rather than EObject.eContainer.

Thanks Ed,

I did some testing by adding a command to inspect EMF selection from an editor and finally understood how it work. Really useful!

Thanks
Pierre
