UML2Util destroy method is protected? [message #477537]

Hello,

I try to create a scoped model, which means to delete some model
elements (and references) which are not in the scope. looks like the
"destroy" method in UML2Util does the business

protected static void destroy(EObject eObject)

But it is protected, not public.

I'm wondering about the reason and how can I scope a model?

Thanks.

Hi Zheng,

The Element metatype (the root of all other metatypes) has a destroy()
method that removes all cross references and removes it from its containing
resource.
I believe that is the one you are looking for?

Cheers,
