What Ken here describes as a theoretical solution is in fact precisely
what EMF's JET framework does. The reasons for this is that it then
uses Eclipse functions to process resources in this project.
Specifically it uses JDT to compile Java sources in there. I don't
know whether there will be any similar requirements in the case of
Buckminster, but I thought it was worth pointing out. See the page I
referenced for more details on what JET does.
