I'm processing an Ecore model where the resulting model is a subset of the original one, but should be an independet model without any references to the original one.
I'm using a TreeIterator to process model elements one at a time. If an element (EPackage, EClass, EAttribute or EReference) should be a part of the resulting model, I create a new appropriate Ecore class and then I need to set all the properties as in the original element. However, I do not want to set references such as subpackages, since at the moment that I'm processing this package I don't know which of it's subpackages will fulfill the processing conditions to be taken into the resulting model. So,
I just tried using EcoreUtil.copy and EcoreUtil.Copier.copy but they both have the effect of copying everything the package contains, which I don't want - I need the package alone, cut off from it's super and subpackages...
Is there a way to this other than stripping the copied package contents manually?

You could specialize copyContainment to ignore certain containment
references.
