Hi Derek
I'm pretty sure that there is no support for FeatureMaps, but it is
possible that there is an extension that I'm not aware of.
I don't think that there is any easy backdoor approach, since
EFeatureMap is an EDataType rather than an EClass, so there are no
operations visible to OCL.
Explicit support for FeatureMaps in OCL is unlikely any time soon since
there is no counterpart in EMOF.
I think that your best approach is to develop an EcoreHelper class that
provides maybe a getFeatureMapEntryKey(EFeatureMap, String) method that
can be invoked from OCL. Feel free to contribute the result.
Regards
