[news.eclipse.modeling.mdt.uml2] Re: Find stereotypes applicable to inst

[Christian Schneider <schneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joel,

even though it looks quite the same, I post my solution here as well, 
because I think such methods should make it into the eclipse UML API:


boolean isApplicableStereotype(EClass eClass, Stereotype stereotype)
{
   for(Property attribute : stereotype.getAllAttributes())
   {
      if(attribute.getAssociation() instanceof Extension)
      {
         Type type = attribute.getType();
         EClassifier eClassifier = UMLPackage.eINSTANCE
             .getEClassifier(type.getName());
         if(eClassifier instanceof EClass &&
             ((EClass) eClassifier).isSuperTypeOf(eClass))
         {
            return true;
         }
      }
   }
   return false;
}


It assumes the Stereotype is properly defined and is inspired by 
ElementOperations.isApplicableStereotype.
