public interface DiffElement
extends org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject

A representation of the model object 'Element'. This is the superclass of all types of differences EMF Compare can detect.

The following features are supported:

• Sub Diff Elements
• Is Hidden By
• Conflicting
• Kind
• Remote

Method Detail

getIsHiddenBy

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<AbstractDiffExtension> getIsHiddenBy()

Returns the value of the 'Is Hidden By' reference list. The list contents are of type AbstractDiffExtension. It is bidirectional and its opposite is 'Hide Elements'.

If the meaning of the 'Is Hidden By' reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'Is Hidden By' reference list.

See Also:

DiffPackage.getDiffElement_IsHiddenBy(), AbstractDiffExtension.getHideElements()

isConflicting

boolean isConflicting()

Returns the value of the 'Conflicting' attribute.

This will return true if this DiffElement is conflicting with another. It will in fact check that the direct container of this element is a ConflictingDiffElement.

Returns:

the value of the 'Conflicting' attribute.

See Also:

DiffPackage.getDiffElement_Conflicting()

getKind

DifferenceKind getKind()

Returns the value of the 'Kind' attribute. The default value is "". The literals are from the enumeration DifferenceKind.

Return the kind of Difference this DiffElement is. AddModelElement and RemoteAddModelElement are both DifferenceKind.ADDITION, MoveModelElement is a DifferenceKind.MOVE ...

Returns:

the value of the 'Kind' attribute.

See Also:

DifferenceKind, DiffPackage.getDiffElement_Kind()

isRemote

boolean isRemote()

Returns the value of the 'Remote' attribute.

If the meaning of the 'Remote' attribute isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'Remote' attribute.

See Also:

setRemote(boolean), DiffPackage.getDiffElement_Remote()

setRemote

void setRemote(boolean value)

Sets the value of the 'Remote' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Remote' attribute.

See Also:

isRemote()

getSubDiffElements

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<DiffElement> getSubDiffElements()

Returns the value of the 'Sub Diff Elements' containment reference list. The list contents are of type DiffElement.

If the meaning of the 'Sub Diff Elements' containment reference list isn't clear, there really should be more of a description here...

Returns:

the value of the 'Sub Diff Elements' containment reference list.

DiffPackage.getDiffElement_SubDiffElements()
