Dear all,

let's assume I have an Editor generated out of an Ecore model with
several parameters (EAttributes).
Within a method I obtain an EAttribute of a specific type. I would like
to present the EAttribute's name to the user. Hence if I use the
EAttribute.getName() method I only get the "models" EAttribute name
(like "myParam") but not the representation as e.g. in the generated
PropertySheet of the editor.
I realise that this is related to the EObject's PropertyDescriptors and
what I am looking for is what's e.g. in the
"_UI_[ObjectType]_[Feature]_feature" constant in the plugin.properties
file of the object providers (e.g. [ObjectType]ItemProvider). I just
don't know how to access this "string" given an EAttribute and the
related EObject.

An help?!

With regards, Morten.

If you know there is a property descriptor for it, you could adapt the
owner object to IItemPropertySource (AdapteFactoryContentProvider
supports that), use getPropertyDescriptor with the feature object as the
ID, and then call getDisplayName.
