I have this meta model:

EClass Base
 - a : EString
 - b : EString

EClass AS extends Base

EClass A extends Base

I need to copy an instance of AS to A.
Is there a standard way to do this?

Erdal,

You could create a specialized Copier and specialize the
getTarget(EClass) method so it returns the EClass for A given the EClass
for AS. Of course for this simple case, you could write code against
the the generated interfaces for AS and A...
