Hi,

Does EMF have some facilities (Through i.e. a generated Switch or
AdapterFactory) to create an instance of of an EClass (Through a
Factory) based on it's EStructuralFeature?

Thanks, Christophe

I'm not sure what you mean by "based on its EStructuralFEature". You can
off course call eStructuralFeature.getEContainingClass() and use
EcoreUtil.create of that EClass to create an instance. But of course
the feature's class could be abstract...

Yes, this was my plan as well and then I figured some Util might already
do something similar. Thanks Ed, I will create something myself.
Cheers Christophe
