[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Practicalities of GMF

Hi,

I'm new to GMF and I am trying to understand how to organise things so that I don't overwrite my work. For instance, what if I want to add an element or attribute to my model, can I go back and regenerate all my files without wasting all the work I have done to set them up? Or say I want to make changes to the graphical model, how can I do this using GMF without overwriting any changes that I have made to my code?

Of is GMF just something intended to be used once, then all subsequent changes are made to the code?

The other issue is that I am generating a RCP application. The application works but I am having trouble dealing with the complexity, as I understand things Eclipse does this by dividing things into smaller plugins, having used GMF to create an RCP application can I then switch to just editing the models as a plugin?
