Class EcoreSwitch<T>

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreSwitch<T>

public class EcoreSwitch<T>
extends java.lang.Object

The Switch for the model's inheritance hierarchy. It supports the call doSwitch(object) to invoke the caseXXX method for each class of the model, starting with the actual class of the object and proceeding up the inheritance hierarchy until a non-null result is returned, which is the result of the switch.
