Maybe this ParentPackage could be removed for the sake of consistency in the metamodel and we keep the more generic belongsTo (a ContainerEntity) you have two links. a class is scoped by a namespace a class is contained in a file/package in java and C3 the two are mixed but these links that orthogonal. > > - then Type as the relationship "container" (a ContainerEntity) which is explicitly documented as: "Container is a namespace, not a package (Smalltalk)." > Why not call it Namespace in this case?

I am using Fame for java to access Famix objects and populate their information (similar to VerveineJ). While creating Famix.Class objects for C# classes, I need to set parent namespace to represent the namespace that the class belongs to. > > However, the Famix.Class only provides a single method to set the parent and that take a Famix.Package as a parameter.

Does meta-model not provide a way that we can set Famix.Namespace as a parent of a class. I can see another method in the Famix.Class and that is SetContainer(ContainerEntity se). Can I use this method to set a Namespace to be the parent of a Class and keeping the parentPackage relationship empty? > > thanks. > > Usman > > > _______________________________________________ > Moose-dev mailing list > Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch > https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev > > _______________________________________________ > Moose-dev mailing list > Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch > https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev
