Ecore property definition list [message #521965] Fri, 19 March 2010 13:39 Go to next message

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is some documentation somewhere that explains all of the properties of Ecore types.

For example, in the Properties View when an EReference is selected, there is a property call Many. If you select this the tooltip says "The Many feature of type EBoolean", but doesn't actually explain what it means if you set it true or false. Is there somewhere that explains this for all (or some) properties?

Many thanks,

James

James,

I'm interested in this too. I'll copy the EMF newsgroup, as I think the
answer may be of interest to readers of that group too.

Cheers,
Louis.

James,

There's the EMF book. Please buy it so I can retire soon. :-P

The refcard is pretty handy:
<http://refcardz.dzone.com/refcardz/essential-emf>

The "many" feature is derived from the value of upperBound so you can't
actually set it.
