Casting Object to EObject [message #1385106]

Hello everyone!

I am trying to cast an Object to an EObject:

Object ob = context.getNewObject();
EObject eob = (EObject) ob;

This leads to the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.File cannot be cast to org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject

As far as I know, this casting should work. Have I missed something?

I appreciate any counsel!

Hi

Check the inheritance. File is not an EObject.
