Yes, no problems.

Nothing but the NPEs already quoted in my very first message.

In the FS I can see it, and after disabling the filters, it's also in the
project explorer.

Yep, tons of. A little investigation showed that the root cause of the error
was that the .JETEmitters project was not generated with any specific project
settings regarding the Java Compiler, it was using the default workspace
setting, which was set to 1.4 compliance for my workspace. And the templates
use 5.0 specific instructions... Anyway, after changing the project specific
settings to a compliance level of 5.0, everything worked. 

I added a few sentences to
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/GMF_GenModel_Hints#GenEditorGenerator to
reflect this issue - hope it's understandable :-)

Thanks a lot for the help.
