Method Detail

getHelper

public static ExtensionMechanismsHelper getHelper()

Singleton instance access method.

getStereotypes

public java.util.Collection getStereotypes(MNamespace ns)

Returns all stereotypes in a namespace.

Parameters:

ns - is the namespace.

Returns:

a Collection with the stereotypes.

getStereotype

public MStereotype getStereotype(MNamespace ns,
                                 MStereotype stereo)

Finds a stereotype in some namespace. Returns null if no such stereotype is found.

Parameters:

ns - is the namespace.

stereo - is the stereotype.

Returns:

the stereotype found or null.

getStereotype

public MStereotype getStereotype(MStereotype stereo)

Searches the given stereotype in all models in the current project.

Parameters:

stereo - is the given stereotype

Returns:

MStereotype

getMetaModelName

public java.lang.String getMetaModelName(MModelElement m)

getAllPossibleStereotypes

public java.util.Collection getAllPossibleStereotypes(java.lang.Object modelElement)

Returns all possible stereotypes for some modelelement. Possible stereotypes are those stereotypes that are owned by the same namespace the modelelement is owned by and that have a baseclass that is the same as the metamodelelement name of the modelelement.

Parameters:

modelElement - is the model element

Returns:

Collection

isValidStereoType

protected boolean isValidStereoType(java.lang.Class clazz,
                                    java.lang.Object stereo)

isValidStereoType

public boolean isValidStereoType(java.lang.Object m,
                                 java.lang.Object stereo)

Returns true if the given stereotype has a baseclass that equals the baseclass of the given modelelement or one of the superclasses of the given modelelement.

Parameters:

m - is the model element

stereo - is the stereotype

Returns:

boolean

getStereotypes

public java.util.Collection getStereotypes()

setStereoType

public void setStereoType(java.lang.Object modelElement,
                          java.lang.Object stereotype)

Sets the stereotype of some modelelement. The method also copies a stereotype that is not a part of the current model to the current model.

Parameters:

modelElement - is the model element

stereotype - is the stereotype

isStereotype

public boolean isStereotype(java.lang.Object object,
                            java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.String base)

Tests if a stereotype is a stereotype with some name and base class.

Parameters:

object - is the stereotype.

name - is the name of the stereotype.

base - is the base class of the stereotype.

Returns:

true if object is a stereotype with the desired characteristics.

isStereotypeInh

public boolean isStereotypeInh(java.lang.Object object,
                               java.lang.String name,
                               java.lang.String base)

Tests if a stereotype is or inherits from a stereotype with some name and base class.

Parameters:

object - is the stereotype.

name - is the name of the stereotype.

base - is the base class of the stereotype.
