Method Detail

clone

public abstract Mutation clone()

Mutations must follow the prototype pattern as org.eclipse.emf.emfstore.internal.modelmutator.api.ModelMutator will clone pre-configured mutations before they will be completed and applied. This allows clients to provide a specifically configured set mutations and start the mutation only from cloning and applying the set of pre-configured mutations.

Overrides:

clone in class Object

Returns:

A copy of this mutation with the same configuration.

Object.clone()

Throws:

ESMutationException - thrown if the mutation failed.
