Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Generate any GMF-RCP which allows connections.
2. Create a connection with one node as source and one node as target as well as several other diagram-nodes.
3. Click on the source or target element in the properties view. Add some more nodes in the popped up menu and confirm the changes change.


More information:
The described steps above result in changes of the domain model according to the settings in the popped-up menu.
Issue 1: Every change made through this menu is reflected in the domain model, regardless of the underlying dsl (ecore-model) or ocl-constraints set in the mapping-model.
Issue 2: The changes do not effect the notation-model. Most-likely changes made by the menu result in invalidation and deletion of the connection in the notation model.

I think, the default behavior of generated code should not allow the user to invalidate its models by any chance. 
I cannot allow my clients to use this feature (which unfortunately already happened) and therefore I have to implement my own solution. 
Generally I try to use generated code as intensive as possible.
Therefor I would prefer a simple PropertySource as a first shot, that only shows the connection source and target. (Changes can still be made via the diagram).
Nevertheless it would be a very nice future feature, if the menu worked properly, meaning, only reasonable nodes can be choosen as source and target, according to the dsl as well as link-constraints. Also the amount of possible source and target edges should be taken into account.
