Hi Stéphane,

Not a problem, hope you had/have a good vacation. I'm trying to get my
head around EMF at the moment think I'm getting there thanks to the
pointers from Ed Merks and yourself.

I like the look of the proposed solution provided by Norihiro where by
extension points are used to register new elements into the model.
I've taken the liberty of raising a second bug to complement this bug
but raising the scope to providing extension points at all points in
the SCA model where it supports sca:any.

I'll have a play around and get back to you if I manage to come up
with anything useful or have more questions etc.

Regards,

Dave
