[news.eclipse.tools.emf] [EMF] model instance exporting

[phantomjinx <p.g.richardson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Would someone mind telling me where to start in exporting a model 
instance to file.

The model will have been loaded either from file or from CDO.
The model elements will be contained in multiple resources.

I would like to be able to select some container element in the loaded 
model instance and export it to file/zip/jar ... This should be able to 
determine references spanning multiple resources and bring those in too 
if desired. In effect, I will have exported a subset of the model 
instance and is in itself fully valid (no broken refs).

Has anything been done before in this area that I could re-use or am I 
breaking new ground here, please.

Any help and pointers much appreciated.

Regards

PGR
