Here is an example of how to collect all children from the com.nomagic.uml2.ext.magicdraw.classes.mdkernel.Element and avoid recursion using a simple for cycle:
List<Element> children = new ArrayList<Element>(); Element current = ... children.add(current); // if the current element has children, list will be increased. for (int i = 0; i < children.size(); i++) { current = children.get(i); // add all children into end of this list, so it emulates a recursion. children.addAll(current.getOwnedElement()); }
It is highly recommended to use more advanced collecting methods from com.nomagic.magicdraw.uml.Finder utility:
