This is exactely what I would need and these attributes seem reasonable ...

... but these attributes aren't supported and ant complains about those 
attributes ("emf.Ecore2Java doesn't support the editProject attribute")
@see: 
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.emf.doc/references/javadoc/org/eclipse/emf/importer/ecore/taskdefs/EcoreGeneratorTask.html

There are only methods setModelProject(), setModelProjectFragmentPath().


Any more suggestions? I would really need such functionality; should I file a 
feature request?
