Hello Aurelien,

No, it's not planned.

Here it is (build.xml from org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef.editor plugin):

<project name="graphdef.editor" default="main" xmlns:xpt="eclipse.org/gmf/2008/xpand">
	
	<property name="graphdef.plugin" value="platform:/resource/org.eclipse.gmf.graphdef.editor"/>
	<property name="formtk.plugin" value="platform:/resource/org.eclipse.gmf.formtk"/>
	
	<target name="main">
		<antcall target="generateSection">
			<param name="section" value="Size"/>
		</antcall>
		<antcall target="generateSection">
			<param name="section" value="Layout"/>
		</antcall>
		<antcall target="generateSection">
			<param name="section" value="LayoutData"/>
		</antcall>
		<antcall target="generateSection">
			<param name="section" value="Figure"/>
		</antcall>
	</target>
	
	<target name="generateSection">
		<xpt:template 
			name="PropSheet::Main"
			inputURI="${graphdef.plugin}/models/${section}Section.xmi#/"
			templateroot="${graphdef.plugin}/templates-context,${graphdef.plugin}/templates-propsheet,${formtk.plugin}/templates-propsheet,${formtk.plugin}/templates-formpage,${formtk.plugin}/templates-context,${formtk.plugin}/templates-widget"
			outfile="${basedir}/src-extra/org/eclipse/gmf/graphdef/editor/sheet/${section}Section.java"/>
	</target>
	
</project>

No, it's not supported now. You can generate diagram code using UI action 
only and you can generate additional classes using modified UI action or 
using ant file.

Right you can call doGenerateJavaClass() from GeNeratorExt class.
