Description Michael Golubev CLA 2012-08-08 07:27:30 EDT 
Its clear that generation for Graphiti- or for Web- platforms does not need the full contents of the GMFGen model, which was suited specifically for GMF Runtime. 

However, it is also clear that some parts of the generated code will likely be reusable for whatever runtime platform. The most obvious examples are the XXXVisualIDRegistry and DiagramUpdater which holds the not-specific knowledge about the diagram structure. 

Those reusable parts are to be identified under this bugzilla, then the GMFGen model should be split into the core- and GMF-runime-specific parts. Then Graphiti- or Web- oriented GenModels will reuse the same core subset of actual GmfGen model.
