[Moose-dev] Re: Namespace and Packages

Hi, Just to clarify: - container points to the entity that influences the unique name of the current Type

- parentPackage points to the entity that represents the physical organization Cheers, Doru On 11 May 2011, at 15:38, Usman Bhatti wrote: > Ok ... so: > ScopingEntity that defines the scope of the entity... > ContainerEntity that contains a given entity... > And I'll use ContainerEntity for C#. > > I was thinking of the way in which Moose interprets them... > > > On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 2:46 PM, Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr&gt; wrote: > > On May 11, 2011, at 12:42 PM, Nicolas Anquetil wrote: > >> I use Class.setContainer(Namespace) in VerveineJ >> >> But it is a bit strange that: >> - NamedEntities have a ParentPackage relationship.

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).
