[news.eclipse.tools.emf] Re: [CDO 1.0] weak references and adapters

[Thomas.M.Crockett@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Crockett)]

This is not hard to do, and it's how I've solved the problem, I'm just 
concerned that it is a very big "gotcha" for anyone new to CDO. It took me 
a full day of debugging to figure out what the heck was going on and why 
objects kept losing their adapters... it turned out it wasn't that the 
adapters were disappearing but that the objects were disappearing, but 
that was not easy to figure out! I think if well-documented it's fine to 
leave as-is though.
