Oo!  Thanks, Dave.

I look forward to your contribution.

Say, have you looked at the dynamic constraint provider that loads OCL
constraints from *.ocl documents?  Check it out in the latest MDT OCL 1.2
I-build (the example is older than that, but there may have been changes). 
The plugin.xml can grow to be quite a load in the extension registry.  This
is a tidy alternative, and of course, I never have time to work on a more
model-driven approach to the Java constraints ...

Cheers,

Christian
