Removing metaclass reference and extension? [message #628120]

This code extends a stereotype:
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class metaclass = getMetaclass(...);
Profile profile = stereo.getProfile();
if (metaclass != null && profile != null) {
profile.createMetaclassReference(metaclass);
stereo.createExtension(metaclass, false);
return;
}
But how can I later reverse that? This doesn't work:
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class metaclass = getMetaclass(...);
Profile profile = stereo.getProfile();
if (metaclass != null && profile != null) {
for (Extension ext : profile.getOwnedExtensions(false)) {
if (ext.getMetaclass() == metaclass
&& ext.getEndTypes().contains(stereo)) {
stereo.getExtendedMetaclasses().remove(metaclass); // throws exception!
profile.getOwnedExtensions(false).remove(ext); // throws exception!
break;
}
}
}

The list of extended metaclasses for a stereotype isn't meant to be modified directly. Instead, consider obtaining a reference to the extension (a special kind of association) and destroying it via the Element#destroy() method.

This one works, thank you very much Kenn!!!

However, many fragments remain in the model, so some additional cleanup is needed. Report will follow.

With calling destroy() on the extension, the referencing attribute remains in the stereotype, so this must be destroyed, too. Here is my final working code:

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class metaclass = getMetaclass(...);
Profile profile = stereo.getProfile();
if (metaclass != null && profile != null) {
for (Extension ext : profile.getOwnedExtensions(false)) {
if (ext.getMetaclass() == metaclass
&& ext.getEndTypes().contains(stereo)) {
for (Property p : stereo.getAttributes()) {
Association assoc = p.getAssociation();
if (assoc != null && assoc == ext) {
// additional cleanup needed, because
// this would not be removed by ext.destroy():
p.destroy();
break;
}
}
// remove base class by destroying the extension
ext.destroy();
break;
}
}
}
