public static java.lang.String getUriHintNameForEClass(EClass eClass)

Retrieves the name of the EClass that should be used as eclass segment in the URI. By default this is the EClass#getName().

This can reference to any EClass, even if it is not a super type of the given EClass. If found it will call getUriHintNameForEClass(EClass) with the found reference. So the name returned String will be at least name of the referenced EClass. If such a reference is not present a DetailEntry with the key name will be taken under consideration. The first annotation found on the class hierarchy will define the hint.
