Re: [e4-dev] how to contribute to toolkit model ?

[yves.yang@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hallvard,

XWT has a package of metamodel service. In most of the case, the model UI
comes directly from SWT via reflection. But in some case, we need to
complete/enhance it since SWT is not model-base. And user can define their
own metaclass.
