Hello,
I'm very new to Eclipse, EMF, Xcore, and ECP. I'm using an Xcore model to generate an edit plugin. Using ECP, I can create a new project and add new elements to it. So far so good.
Given ECP, I want to know when a specific EClass instance is available (newly created on a project or opened from an existing project). My naive approach is to call ECPUtil.getECPProjectManager().getProjects(), iterate on each project and call its getContents(). This exposes individual root presumably EObjects, which could have EContentAdapters added to them. However, adding adding EContentAdapters to possibly large containment trees doesn't seem like a good idea according to EclipseSource's Dos and Don'ts #8. (I can't link to the article directly since I don't have enough messages yet...)
Is this the recommended / preferred way to identify when a specific EClass instance is available when working with an ECP project? If not, what's a better idiom?
Cheers!

Hi,
what exactly means "available". Do you want to listen to the event if a
new EObject is added to a project?
best regards

Hi,
yes, you only need to ensure that the ECPNotificationProvider is in you
run config.
Best regards
