Hello,

I'm looking for a feature very similar to ECoreUtil.copy except that I don't want to create a new object, but rather "fill" an existing object.
Does something like that exist?

Thanks,
Cédric

Hi, Cédric,

You can extend the EcoreUtil.Copier class to do what you need. Just
seed it with your existing objects as "copies" of the originals, then
ensure that it doesn't create new copies but uses your seeds, instead,
when you tell it to copy your originals.

HTH,

Christian
