Identify unused references in metamodel #259

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
Analyse all of the test models -- source and completed -- and identify if there 
are any references that are not being used, and therefore may be safely removed.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
A smaller metamodel.

A small test case script has been provided in r2938.

A possibly relevant academic paper is "Metamodel Usage Analysis for Identifying 
Metamodel Improvements" - Markus Herrmannsdoerfer, Daniel Ratiu, and Maximilian 
Koegel.
