parentBehaviouralEntity is nil for Java local variable declared in static block (FAMIXLocalVariable)

Hi,

The static blocks should map on an <init> stub method belonging to the parent class. The latest jdt2famix has this semantics.

Could it be that the MSE you are using is an old one? If so, could you redo the MSE with jdt2famix? If no, could you point me more closely to the source code?

Also, please only use this address: [hidden email] :)

Cheers,
Doru

OK - trying a reply via e-mail as opposed to the web-based interface (hope this helps). 

Yes, I was using the MSE files from the moose book reference, which are old. So, I regenerated the MSE using the latest jdt2famix, but I've run into another problem (being a smalltalk/pharo newbie).

Before I could find all interfaces limited to the argouml namespace with the following expression:

interfaces := (MooseModel root allModels third allClasses select: 

   [ :each | (each container name beginsWith:'org::argouml') and: (each isInterface)]) asSet.

However, the latest jdt2famix model has a namespaces such that a container name is just e.g. "core" and then one has to traverse to the parent namespace, etc. The "org::argouml' part I'm looking for is at the end of such a traversal. I used the Inspector on the instances and couldn't understand how to get a fully qualified name as before. I'm not enough of a Pharo/SmallTalk coder to figure out how to concatenate it (build it myself). Is there some magic to make this simple as before?

Cheers!
