Hi,
I'm currently trying to integrate a Xtext based cell editor into my EMF editor. I already asked at the TMF forum about that (https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1079311/), but it's probably better to ask EMF specific questions here.
To sum up the thread posted above, I want to use the XtextStyledTextCellEditor.java within my EMF editor to make use of the Xtext grammar and the other features of Xtext. Unfortunately it doesn't work, while it works with other cell editors, e. g. DialogCellEditor.
It seems that they are using this customized cell editor in GMF, so I assumed that it also should work for the EMF properties. In the meantime, I read an blog post that EMF uses another properties view than GMF. Is that the reason why it doesn't work or are there any other obstacles, which I've haven't considered?

Phil,
I can only point you at this for how to create a specialized cell editor
in EMF's normal properties view:

Hi
Have a look at EMF Forms which provides morre extensibility.
