Ok, sorry, I'm new to this, so I thought that newcomer would be the best 
choice :)

Yes, both the old and the new project does (the new project which I'm 
developing is made in GMF). The side menu in eclipse looks like this:

Just so I haven't misunderstood anything...is importing an ecore model the 
same thing as importing an ecore resource?
I want to be able to use the code in the src-folder of the DDHMI-project 
in my Renegade-project...as far as I know I can do this already, since the 
DDHMI-project is in my workspace? What will be the difference if I manage 
to import the ecore-resource into my own project? 

Thanks,
Anna
