[news.eclipse.tools.uml2] Re: Moving contents from an Association to an

["James Bruck" <jbruck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andreas,

If you want to copy the contents of some structural feature such as
memberEnds you could just get the collection and do a
list.addAll() to the collection you want to move to.

If you want to get more advanced you could do something like the
UML22UMLResourceHandler.reincarnate() function.  This little gem looks at
all structural features and attempts to set all of them in a generic way in
the newly created object.

Cheers,

- James
