[news.eclipse.tools.emf] Re: use EMF model from GEF

[Frank Budinsky <frankb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nikolaj,

You can access the model from the EditingDomain returned by
getEditingDomain() of the generated editor. The EditingDomain is the central
holder of the model for an Editor. The model objects are retrieved by
calling getResourceSet() on it. After that you can get the children,
properties, etc., by calling adapt() on the editors adapter factory, using
the appropriate adapter type.

I realize that this is a shameless plug, but if you're having trouble
getting your head around all of the framework pieces, our EMF book,
http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0131425420 , is the best resource.

Frank.
