Can GMF handle derived types? [message #73623]

Can GMF handle derived types?

Since I couldn't manage to get GMF properly handle my relations as
a work-around I redesigned my model such that two types extend a
common super type (which I then use as target type for the references).

But this now leads to faulty code, i.e. compile errors in the generated
source (in a piece of code that does some label mapping. The "name"
attribute is common and thus I defined it in the super type. But now
the getFigure<TypeFigure>() method seems missing in the derived
types).

So I wonder: are derived types supported by GMF 2.0M2?

Hi,

Please check the thread "Missing methods in a generated Class" (2006-09-19).
