FamixNG support for mooseIcon methods

[fuhrmanator]

So, I spent some time using the Models browser (Moose-IDE) looks great by the way. I can see the icons are more or less working without the mooseIcon method into the entities, so maybe you can close this?

Still, it would be nice to know how to specify custom methods in the MM from the DSL, again to avoid the problem of manually-added things to a metamodel which requires some documenting if you want to reproduce them.

A quick internet search got me to ClassDescription>>#compileSilently: which is an extension used by Fuel, etc. to programmatically add a method to a class. I guess one could add methods this way after the metamodel is generated. I couldn't find a hook in the FamixMetamodelGenerator where to put such code (after entities are generated, something like #postLoadDoIt in Baselines?). Maybe this could be a blog topic?

Great idea to enable the addition of methods in the generator! and to write a blog post on it.
I close this issue, since it is no more relevant.
