Print an EObject ?
- by tul
I am writing some eclipse emf code and would like to print the content of an EObject (not store it to disk).
Here is what I try:
public static void print(EObject obj) {
Resource eResource = obj.eResource();
try {
eResource.save(System.out, null);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
but that gives a NullPointerException. I have tried this instead:
public static void print(EObject obj) {
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
resourceSet.getResourceFactoryRegistry().getProtocolToFactoryMap()
.put("*", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createURI("dummyfile.xml"));
resource.getContents().add(obj);
try {
resource.save(System.out, null);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
This works, but is it not possible to print to screen without specifying a dummy URI??
