Interface Comparison

All Superinterfaces:
EObject, Notifier
All Known Implementing Classes:
ComparisonImpl, ComparisonSpec
public interface Comparison extends EObject
A representation of the model object 'Comparison'. This will act as the "root" of a comparison. It will reference one match for every root of the input models, along with the differences detected for each of them.

The following features are supported:

    • getMatchedResources

      EList<MatchResource> getMatchedResources()
      Returns the value of the 'Matched Resources' containment reference list. The list contents are of type MatchResource. This contains the mappings for each compared Resource.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Matched Resources' containment reference list.

    • getMatches

      EList<Match> getMatches()
      Returns the value of the 'Matches' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Match. This contains the match tree "mimicking" the input models' hierarchy.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Matches' containment reference list.

    • getConflicts

      EList<Conflict> getConflicts()
      Returns the value of the 'Conflicts' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Conflict. If we detected any conflict during the comparison process, this will contain them.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Conflicts' containment reference list.

    • getEquivalences

      EList<Equivalence> getEquivalences()
      Returns the value of the 'Equivalences' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Equivalence. If we detected any equivalence between diffs during the comparison process, this will contain them.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Equivalences' containment reference list.

    • getDifferences

      EList<Diff> getDifferences()
      Returns all differences contained by this Comparison and its children.

    • getDifferences

      EList<Diff> getDifferences(EObject element)
      Returns all differences that reference the given EObject (for instance, all ReferenceChanges that reference the given EObject through the "value" EReference).

      To get differences detected on the given EObject or one of its counterpart in left, right or origin, you should call the following code: 

       Match match = getMatch(eObject);
 if (match != null) {
        differences = match.getDifferences();
 }
      Parameters:
      element - The EObject for which we seek all related differences.

    • getMatch

      Match getMatch(EObject element)
      Finds and return the Match for the given EObject.
      Parameters:
      element - The EObject for which we seek the match.

    • isThreeWay

      boolean isThreeWay()
      Returns the value of the 'Three Way' attribute.
      Returns:
      the value of the 'Three Way' attribute.

    • setThreeWay

      void setThreeWay(boolean value)
      Sets the value of the 'Three Way' attribute.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Three Way' attribute.

    • getDiagnostic

      Diagnostic getDiagnostic()
      Returns the value of the 'Diagnostic' attribute.

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

      Returns:
      the value of the 'Diagnostic' attribute.

    • setDiagnostic

      void setDiagnostic(Diagnostic value)
      Sets the value of the 'Diagnostic' attribute.
      Parameters:
      value - the new value of the 'Diagnostic' attribute.
