I create here : 
\org.ow2.jasmine.design.gmf.codegen\templates\xpt\propsheet\PropertySourceExtended.xpt

set to : /org.ow2.jasmine.design.gmf.codegen/templates

in 
\org.ow2.jasmine.design.gmf.codegen\templates\xpt\propsheet\PropertySourceExtended.xpt 
:

ÂIMPORT "http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/2008/GenModel"Â;
ÂIMPORT "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"Â;

ÂDEFINE Class FOR gmfgen::GenCustomPropertyTabÂ
    ÂEXPAND xpt::Common::copyright FOR sheet.editorGen-Â
    package Âsheet.packageNameÂ;

    ÂEXPAND xpt::Common::generatedClassCommentÂ
    public class PropertySourceExtended extends 
org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.PropertySource implements 
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.IPropertySource{
	
    }
ÂENDDEFINEÂ

and in 
org.ow2.jasmine.design.gmf.codegen\templates\xpt\propsheet\PropertySection.xpt
(which already exists) :
ÂIMPORT "http://www.eclipse.org/gmf/2008/GenModel"Â;
ÂIMPORT "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore"Â;


ÂDEFINE Class FOR gmfgen::GenCustomPropertyTabÂ


    ÂEXPAND xpt::propsheet::PropertySourceExtended::Class FOR 
self.customPropertyTab [1]



	ÂEXPAND xpt::Common::copyright FOR sheet.editorGen-Â
