- use of
annotations
- other?
Is anyone willing to work on that?

As all of us know, Famix recognizes 4 types of associations

upon these dependencies (queryAllOutgoingReferences, ...)
For convenience, it adds queryAllOutgoingDependencies
but this will miss a good deal of actual dependencies, because many
of them are not expressed by associations:
- return type of a method
- type of a variable:
- Parameter
- Local variable
- Attribute
- exceptions caught, thrown
- and declared exception
- parameter types in parameterized classes
- use of annotations
- other?
Since we now have a nice general API to query dependencies, it would
be nicer if it were complete, ...
A possible solution would to rename queryAllOutgoingDependencies
into queryAllOutgoingAssociations and change
queryAllOutgoingDependencies to "do the right thing"
I like queryAllOutgoingAssociations.
Or maybe invent new "virtual
associations" (like ofType) and create
queries for these associations, ...
I do not understand this part. Could you explain in more details?
We decide that the relation between a variable and its type should be an
association instead of a property,
But we don't want to change (break) the meta-model
So we say taht if that association existed it would be named "ofType", or
"instance"
And we create a query in MooseChef that is called
queryAllOutgoingInstances and we implement it so that it goes into
variables to retrieve their type
And then we change queryAllOutgoingDependencies to also call this new
query
Same goes for exceptions thown, annotations "used", ...
