get child packages of package

[joe0532]

Hi.

It seems like it should be easier to find an answer to such a simple question.
I have a handle on a package. What method should be used to get a list of contained (child) packages? getOwnedElement() and getOwnedPackage() fail for package.
Thank you in advance.

Do you want all nested packages recursively or just direct descendants?

I believe http://jdocs.nomagic.com/190/com/nomagic/uml2/ext/magicdraw/classes/mdkernel/Package.html#getNestedPackage-- is the method you want for directly owned packages.

For all nested packages, you can use the Finder: http://jdocs.nomagic.com/190/com/nomagic/magicdraw/uml/Finder.ByTypeRecursivelyFinder.html

I tried Finder APIs which didn't work for me.

This was far more easier to fetch the element list. The same can be tried for packages.

var modelRoot = AutomatonMacroAPI.getModelData();

Application.getInstance().getGUILog().log(modelRoot.Member.get(1).Name);
Application.getInstance().getGUILog().log(modelRoot.Member.get(2).Name);
