I have created an model class, Expression<T>, that I would like to use as the valueType for a map feature in another EClass.
/**
* @model keyType="java.lang.String" valueType="com.example.expression.Expression" containment="true"
*/
public EMap<String, Expression<Boolean>> getBooleanParameters();
When I generate the model, the method signature is changed to:
public EMap<String, Expression> getBooleanParameters();
Does EMF support specifying a generic type for a map valueType?

Jason,
In Xcore you'd express that like this:
package com.example.expression
class Expression<T>
{
}
class StringToBooleanExpressionMapEntry wraps java.util.Map$Entry
{
String key
refers Expression<Boolean> value
}
class AnotherClass
{
contains StringToBooleanExpressionMapEntry[] booleanParameters
}
It generates this:
/*...
* @model
mapType="com.example.expression.StringToBooleanExpressionMapEntry<org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EString,
com.example.expression.Expression<org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EBooleanObject>>"
* @generated
*/
EMap<String, Expression<Boolean>> getBooleanParameters();
The information about map's type is determined from this in the
generated package.
* @model keyUnique="false" keyDataType="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EString"
*
valueType="com.example.expression.Expression<org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EBooleanObject>"
* @generated
*/
EClass getStringToBooleanExpressionMapEntry();
It's very tricky to get the annotations correct, so while it's
definitely possible, there's nothing in the way of error feedback when
you make typos. In Xcore, if you do something wrong, it will tell you
immediately in the editor.

Jason,
No, it can if you get the annotations right. It's certainly expressible
in Ecore and I did check that the model code generated from the Xcore
has @model annotations that can be used as input for creation a model
from annotated Java and I showed you what those annotations look like.

No, but when it's a big battle to get it right with annotations, it
might be easier to do it in the Ecore editor, let EMF generate the right
annotations (be sure to delete the methods and the package interface so
EMF generates them fully), and then continue from there.
