Hi,

I know it's been made easy to bind emf data models to Jface forms but
what if the GUI is nothing related to Jface ?
In my case, I would like to be able to edit EObject's attributes that are of Type String for instance.
Is there a pattern I could use ?

Thanks

A.

Which UI technology do you want to use? SWT?

Unfortunately not, I use the native UI from Siemens' NX. But what I have done is to create a mediating class that delegates set/get methods between the UI and the data. Not sure if that's the correct way but it seems to work so far !

Yes, seems like a good way, you need to implement IObservables for the
UI part then, for the EMF part, you can use exusting databinding...
