Hi,
I am struggling with reflective access to the fields of my generated classes.
So this works for me in one model but not in the other:
ExtendedMetaData extendedMetaData = new BasicExtendedMetaData(EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE);
List<EStructuralFeature> allContent = extendedMetaData.getAllElements(testObject.eClass())
I am not able to track the difference between the model which works and the one
which does not. Does anyone know how to enable this reflective access?
Thank you!

Alexander,
You can manually create extended metadata annotations for an Ecore
model. But I'm not sure your goal. Why not use
testObject.eClass().getEAllStructuralFeatures()? What are you hoping to
achieve knowing about elements versus attributes in the XML
serialization? You might use
ExtendedMetaData.getFeatureKind(EStructuralFeature) to determine for
your goal, but without knowing what you're trying to achieve, it's hard
to give advice. For example, a cross reference might be serialized as
attribute or as an element, depending on what options are passed to the
resource implementation, e.g.,
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.XMLResource.OPTION_USE_ENCODED_ATTRIBUTE_STYLE, so
just looking at the model seems unhelpful...
