get UML2 Element from its EditPart [message #704029]

Hi,

I used to create plug-ins for Papyrus 1. When I wanted to get the UML2 Element pointed by the cursor, I just had to get the current selection from eclipse, a structuredSelection, which was containing an EditPart. Then, to retrieve the highlighted UML2 Element from this EditPart, there was a very comfortable method : getUML2Element().
I'm currently trying to migrate my plug-ins to Papyrus MDT, and I still can get the EditPart from the current Selection (although it is now called OperationForClassEditPart), but I can't find any method to get the corresponding UML2 Element from it.
Is there someone who could help me do that ?

Thanks !

Well, I found a solution. Don't know if it's a viable one tho, but it does the job.

On Papyrus 1, with OperationEditPart, we had a getUML2element() method.
On Papyrus MDT, with OperationForClassEditPart, we have a getAdapter(Class key) method. So, to get the UML2 element from its editPart, just call the method with "Element.class" as a key. Works fine.
