Method Detail

setVersion

void setVersion(Version version)

Changes the version of this model.

Parameters:

version - Version to set

getVersion

Version getVersion()

Returns the version of this model.

Specified by:

getVersion in interface IModelData

Returns:

the version or null if no version is specified for this model.

getName

Specified by:

getName in interface IModelData

Returns:

the name of this model element.

getImportsCount

int getImportsCount()

Returns the number of imports.

the number of imports

getImport

ModelImport<?> getImport(int index)

Returns the model import specified by index.

Parameters:

index - a 0-based index specifying the import to be returned

Returns:

the model import

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index<0 || index>=getImportsCount()

getSuper

ModelImport<?> getSuper()
