JSON Resources from EMF ? [message #1064371]

I am struggling a bit with trying to persist an EMF model, running as a RCP app (e.g. not IDE or GWT), to JSON. I am using Eclipse Juno 4.2.

I have installed the emfjson plugins from github and they appear to work ok for creating new JSON Resources from my EMF model.

Being a RCP newbie I am confused though how to associate the JSON persistance with the Save and Save As menu actions that were generated from EMF? It seems like I should be creating a new Command and Handler that extend the Save/Save As/Open commands that are generated from a EMF --> RCP generated app?

I found a ActionFactory.SAVE in the API docs. However I do not see an option to create an extension decoratively that extends org.eclipse.ui.file.save.

I assume that I need to create handlers to deal with JSON persistence? Or does the Resource framework create these handlers and associated commands / menu items for the custom Resources registered with the Resource framework?

Any guidance is appreciated. Apologies if this is more of a RCP Newsgroup question than EMF?

Thanks
Ed

Ed,

I'd expect such a project would provide something that extends
ResourceImpl and you'd register a resource factory to create such a
resource for your file extension.
