Hi All,

Perhaps someone could point me to an example showing how to clone
(deeply) a model created programmatically. Is it possible somehow?

Thanks in advance,
Krzysztof

Krzysztof,

I expect you'd be able to use EcoreUtil.copy/copyAll.

Hi Ed,

One mode question concerning model copying.

I do something like this:

Model clonnedModel = (Model) EcoreUtil.copy( model );

And the resulting clonnedModel is ok except for applied stereotypes.
I debugged the uml files before and after the copying and came to
conclusion that the source file contains XMI section with stereotype
applications while the resulting file contains only pure UML tags.

Do you know anything about this problem?

Regards,
Krzysztof

Krzysztof,

Sorry, I missed your question. I'm not sure where how the stereotype
applications are recorded in the model. It sounds like they aren't
contained though, since copy will only copy the containment tree. You'd
need to use copyAll and copy the model and the referencing stereo types
as a single operation (if that makes any sense; I'm no UML expert).
