Difference between arrow(->) and dot(.) in qvto [message #1732206]

Hello
I have the following problem while writing qvto.
i have written below piece of code which is working in eclipse 3.8
But below code not working in eclipse 4.5 why?

file += innerDir->children.oclAsType(Directory);

And when we change the above snipped of code from arrow(->) to dot(.) its working on eclipse 4.5
Please find amendment of code below

file += innerDir.children.oclAsType(Directory);

So my question is why arrow(->) is not working in eclipse 4.5 on the same place in which dot(.) is working?
And what is difference between arrow(->) and dot(.) ?

Hi

OCL 2.4 clarified this. See Section 7.4.10 of
http://www.omg.org/spec/OCL/2.4/PDF/

Implicit-collect can be very helpful but also very confusing. This is
what you are seeing.

In one case you cast the collection to a Directory. In the other you
collect the elemental casts.
