Method Detail

has

public static boolean has(EObject eobject,
                          String property)

Determines if an eobject has a particular property.

Parameters:

eobject - The eobject.

property - The property to check for.

Returns:

true if the property exists, otherwise false

set

public static void set(EObject eobject,
                       String property,
                       Object value)

Sets a property of an eobject.

Parameters:

eobject - THe object.

property - The property to set.

value - The value of the property.

get

public static Object get(EObject eobject,
                         String property)

Gets the property of an eobject.

Parameters:

eobject - The object.

property - The property to get.

Returns:

The value of the property.

getFromMap

public static Object getFromMap(EObject eobject,
                                String property,
                                Object key)

Returns a value from a map based property of an eobject.

This method does not sort of checking of the property, use getFromMapSafe(EObject, String, String) for more leniency.

Parameters:

eobject - The object.

property - The map property.

key - The key to obtain from the map.

Returns:

The map value, possibly null.

getFromMapSafe

public static Object getFromMapSafe(EObject eobject,
                                    String property,
                                    String key)

Returns a value from a map based property of an eobject, handling null cases and the case where the property is not actually a map.

This method returns null in cases where the the property does not exist, or it is not a map.

Parameters:

eobject - The object.

property - The map property.

key - The key to obtain from the map.

Returns:

The map value, possibly null.

add

public static void add(EObject eobject,
                       String property,
                       Object value)

Adds a value to a multi-valued propert of an eobject.

The property must map to a multi-valued property of the eobject. The isCollection(EObject, String) method can be used to test this.

Parameters:

eobject - The object.

property - The multi-valued property.

value - The value to add.

add

public static void add(EObject eobject,
                       EStructuralFeature feature,
                       Object value)

Adds a value to a multi-valued propert of an eobject.

The feature must map to a multi-valued property of the eobject. The #isCollection(EStructuralFeature) method can be used to test this.

Parameters:

eobject - The object.

feature - The multi-valued feature.

value - The value to add.

isCollection

public static boolean isCollection(EObject eobject,
                                   String property)

Determines if a property of an eobject is a collection.

In the event the property does not exist, this method will return false

Returns:

true if hte property is a collection, otherwise false

isCollection

public static boolean isCollection(EObject eobject,
                                   EStructuralFeature feature)

Determines if a feature of an eobject is a collection.

Returns:

true if the feature is a collection, otherwise false

feature

public static EStructuralFeature feature(EObject eobject,
                                         String property)

Parameters:

eobject - The eobject.

property - The property

Returns:

The structure feature, or null if not found.

features

public static List<EStructuralFeature> features(EObject eobject,

propertyType - The type of the properties.

Returns:

The list of structure features, or an empty list if none are found.

set
