Hi Alex,

On the topic below discussed earlier.

I want to add some data in a Tool, which can be passed along when the 
semantic model element is created. (In a EditorHelper).

As a tool, is initially defined as a UnspecifiedTypeCreationTool(),
I wonder if somehow, I can set and pickup this data set in a ToolEntry, 
in a Edit Helper.

So:

MyCustomPaletteFactory -> ToolEntry -> ? -> xEditHelper -> myData?
			  (myData)

Thank You, Christophe
