Hi.
I want to define an operation on a particular element of my ecore metamodel, and the returning type must be a list of elements.
In the ecore editor, I select EEList<?> as the returning type but my problem is that I can't create that kind of lists, neither make a cast from ArrayList to EList.
If I had to return eContents from an EObject, I have be able to return an EList, but in my case, I have to return a list of element built by me.
(At the moment, I have got a non smart solution based on not to declare the returning type in the ecore editor, and after that I set ArrayList<?> as the returnint type in the signature of the implemented method.
Please, have you got any suggestion in order to get something smarter?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Carlos.

Carlos,
You can set the EType to the type of the objects in the list, and set
the upper bound to -1.
Kind regards,
Koen

Hm, it looks like I completely misinterpreted your question :)
Using BasicEList, as Hallvard suggested, is probably the way to go.
