Description Alex Shatalin CLA 2005-10-06 10:09:12 EDT 
Generic method EFactory.create(..) should be used instead of concrete one 
(e.g. EcoreFactory.createEClass()) to create new instances of user domain 
model. For example, there is no concrete method to create 
EStringToStringMapEntryImpl inside EcoreFactory interface (since there is no 
EStringToStringMapEntry interface in EMF), but is it possible to create 
EStringToStringMapEntryImpl using EMF reflection method EcoreFactory.create
(EcorePackage.getEStringToStringMapEntry()). So, we can use this generic 
method everythere in GMF to create an instance of EObject.

E.g. in PaletteFactory.
