I have a class. How do I get it's structural features? [message #618270]

Hello --

I'm using reflection to do all sorts of cool automated things which I am HOPING I can contribute back to the open source world. However, I have one bit of ugliness:

I have a class. Not an EClass, just a plain class. I need to get its EStructuralFeatures. How do I do that? How can I look up a factory if I just have a class? Is there a way for me to get an EClass from a class? Mind you, I don't have an instance of the class, I just have the class itself.

thanks much

Tamar

I'm curious, what are you doing?

Why don't you use EMF reflection?

What factory do you mean?

I assume that you could determine the EClass of a java.lang.Class if you
have the GenModel of that EClass at hand. You'd have to traverse all
GenModels.
