Interface ReferenceChange

All Superinterfaces:

Diff, EObject, Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

ReferenceChangeImpl, ReferenceChangeSpec

public interface ReferenceChange
extends Diff

A representation of the model object 'Reference Change'. This particular kind of difference will be used to describe changes within a reference, whether the feature is multi-valued or not. In the case of a MOVE difference, this could actually mean two things : either the value has been moved from one index to another (moving the value at another position of the same reference), or the value has been moved from one container to another. This second case will only happen with containment references.

The following features are supported:

• Reference
• Value

Method Details

getReference

EReference getReference()

Returns the value of the 'Reference' reference. The reference in which "something" changed. If this difference is a MOVE from one reference to another, this will point towards the left reference.

Returns:

the value of the 'Reference' reference.

• setReference(EReference)
• ComparePackage.getReferenceChange_Reference()

Generated:

setReference

void setReference(EReference value)

Sets the value of the 'Reference' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Reference' reference.

See Also:

• getReference()

Generated:

getValue

EObject getValue()

Returns the value of the 'Value' reference. References the actual value on which a difference has been detected.

Returns:

the value of the 'Value' reference.

• setValue(EObject)
• ComparePackage.getReferenceChange_Value()

Generated:

setValue

void setValue(EObject value)

Sets the value of the 'Value' reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Value' reference.
