Hello

I created a helper which has his context related to class ControlFlow.

 helper context EPK!ControlFlow def: isConditionExpression()

Now I wanted to assign this helper to the rule:

-- Rule 9c / 11b
rule Event {
from
	e : EPK!Event (not e.isConditionExpression())
to 
...

Is this not working (context of helper: ControlFlow / from in rule EPK!Event)? How can I then check this?

thanks for your help. Cheers Roger

ATL and EMF respect inheritance principles so if you want to apply your
rule to multiple types which inherit from a main class, you have to put
the main type as context of this rule !!!
