All Superinterfaces:
IConstraintParser

Deprecated. Use the IParameterizedConstraintParser interface, instead. Note that the provided implementations of this interface (for OCL, Java, and EMF languages) also implement IParameterizedConstraintParser.

public interface IXmlConstraintParser
extends IConstraintParser

Interface implemented by objects that know how to create the constraint implementation described by a constraint descriptor.

This interface is intended to be implemented by plug-ins that supply constraint parsers via the constraintParsers extension point.
