How to obtain the IEObjectDescription from an EObject? [message #638429]

Hi,

is there a way to get the IEObjectDescription if all you have is the EObject?

What I'm trying to do, is to ``typecheck'' files conforming to my grammar. However
there are situations, where the Object of which I want to determine the type is an unresolved proxy.

ECoreUtil2.resolve seems to not work when I pass the EObject of the unresolved proxy to it.

In a different part of my project I'm successfully able to resolve proxies by calling getEObjectOrProxy on the IEObjectDescription and then resolving with ECoreUtils2.

Any help is appreciated.

EDIT: I got to thinking. During validation I probably shouldn't have to deal with unresolved proxies. The scoping needs fixing, I guess. Is this correct?

Kind regards,

Alexander
