It could be usefull to have SessionManager.getSession(URI) API works with non standard URI, for example in memory URI and cdo connection aware URI.

As in SessionManager.getSession(URI) we use "ResourceSet.getURIConverter().exists()" API to know if it is an existing session resource or a new one to create, we cannot use non standard session resource URI.

According to forum threads [1] & [2], there is no extension point for contributing URIHandler like we can do for ResourceFactory. Then non standard URIHandler like InMemoryURIHandlerImpl and CDOURIHandler must be contributed just after ResourceSet creation to be able to use ResourceSet.getURIConverter().exists() API on an empty ResourceSet as we do in SessionFactoryImpl.

There exists ResourceSetFactory extension point to allow customize ResourceSet creation but a single extension is allowed, i.e. XTextResourceSetFactory.

This bugzilla is to provide a better mean to contribute URIHandler to ResourceSet just after its creation.
