Method Detail

getNsURI

java.lang.String getNsURI()

Returns the value of the 'Ns URI' attribute.

It represents the namespace URI, i.e., a universally unique identification of a particular package, much like an XML Schema target namespace. It will be used in an XMI serialization. It is typically registered with the global package registry.

Returns:

the value of the 'Ns URI' attribute.

See Also:

EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE, setNsURI(String), EcorePackage.getEPackage_NsURI()

setNsURI

void setNsURI(java.lang.String value)

Sets the value of the 'Ns URI' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Ns URI' attribute.

See Also:

getNsURI()

getNsPrefix

java.lang.String getNsPrefix()

Returns the value of the 'Ns Prefix' attribute.

It represents the preferred XMLNS prefix to be used for this package's the namespace URI. It will be used in an XMI serialization.

Returns:

the value of the 'Ns Prefix' attribute.

See Also:

setNsPrefix(String), EcorePackage.getEPackage_NsPrefix()

setNsPrefix

void setNsPrefix(java.lang.String value)

Sets the value of the 'Ns Prefix' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Ns Prefix' attribute.

See Also:

getNsPrefix()

getEFactoryInstance

EFactory getEFactoryInstance()

Returns the value of the 'EFactory Instance' reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'EPackage'.

It this package's factory for creating modeled object instances.

Returns:

the value of the 'EFactory Instance' reference.

See Also:

setEFactoryInstance(EFactory), EcorePackage.getEPackage_EFactoryInstance(), EFactory.getEPackage()

setEFactoryInstance

void setEFactoryInstance(EFactory value)

Sets the value of the 'EFactory Instance' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'EFactory Instance' reference.

See Also:

getEFactoryInstance()

getEClassifiers

<any> getEClassifiers()

Returns the value of the 'EClassifiers' containment reference list. The list contents are of type EClassifier. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'EPackage'.

It represents the meta objects, i.e., classes and data types, defined in this package.

Returns:

the value of the 'EClassifiers' containment reference list.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEPackage_EClassifiers(), EClassifier.getEPackage()

getESubpackages

<any> getESubpackages()

Returns the value of the 'ESubpackages' containment reference list. The list contents are of type EPackage. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'ESuper Package'.

It represents the nested packages contained by this package.

Returns:

the value of the 'ESubpackages' containment reference list.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEPackage_ESubpackages(), getESuperPackage()

getESuperPackage

EPackage getESuperPackage()

Returns the value of the 'ESuper Package' container reference. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'ESubpackages'.

It represents the containing package of this package.

Returns:

the value of the 'ESuper Package' container reference.

See Also:

EcorePackage.getEPackage_ESuperPackage(), getESubpackages()

getEClassifier

EClassifier getEClassifier(java.lang.String name)

Returns the classifier with the given name.

Parameters:

name - the name in question.

Returns:

the classifier with the given name.
