Hello everybody,
I'm working on a textual editor with completion to edit UML Reference, so I need to find all possible NamedElement whose the name starts with the string typed by the user (beginning of the name or qualified name) and matching the type of the edited EReference.

I would like to avoid to cross all the model and the associated resource to find them.

Do you have some ideas?

FYI, In Papyrus, we already have such methods, with the classes
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.tools.utils.NameResolutionUtils and
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.tools.utils.NameResolutionHelper

but the first one don't have cache, it crosses the model each time and the second one has a cache, but it is build on the first call, and never updated.

Regards,
/Vincent Lorenzo

Hi, Vincent,

Papyrus has a model indexing facility that could be useful for such a
purpose. Have a look at the WorkspaceModelIndex class in the
oep.infra.emf plug-in. Currently it is used to build an index of
decorator models (externalized profile applications), cross-referencing
the user-model packages to which they apply profiles. Another use case
such as indexing names would be useful to further exercise this index.

HTH,

Christian
