Search engine for EMF? [message #1060657]

I need to search my model for specific (possibly fuzzy) matches.

Something along the lines of "SELECT * FROM customer WHERE name LIKE '*ro" AND surname LIKE 'conda*' ;"

I'm using plain XMI model serialization, not a database backend.
Is there support for this type of queries?
I've seen "EMF Search", but it seems a dead project.

Should I code my own searching?

Hi

If your queries are trivial you could use the OCL Console to execute
them over your model.

If they're more complex, you put put them in a Complete OCL document,
Load it on top of your XMI model and then run the queries using the OCL
Console.

[Eclipse OCL has regex extensions.]

customer->select(name.endsWith('ro') and surname.startsWith('conda'))

Hi Mauro,
you could also use IncQuery: http://www.eclipse.org/incquery/

best regards,
