My problem is that I have difficulties to determine wheter my Object is an actual Class. If i check if it is an instanceof (org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class) all Types which inherit from (org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Class) :

org.eclipse.uml2.uml.AssociationClass (also extends org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Association)
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Behavior
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Activity
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Interaction (also extends org.eclipse.uml2.uml.InteractionFragment)
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.OpaqueBehavior
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.FunctionBehavior
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.StateMachine
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.ProtocolStateMachine
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Component
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Node (also extends org.eclipse.uml2.uml.DeploymentTarget)
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Device
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.ExecutionEnvironment
org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Stereotype

Also fullfill this test. So maybe someone has an idea how to find out if it is an actual class.

Florian,

You can check that the eClass() is exactly the one from
UML2Package.eINSTANCE.getClass_(); I'm not sure if the
generatedUML2Package has a Literals interface with a CLASS constant).
