It is simple to access an EMF model loaded into a repository in ant workflow. The trivial code is below. However, it is hard to subsequently use it as an EMF class, as the interface only presents EMC -level API.

How can an IModel be adapted, to reveal the underlying EMF model instance?

try {
	final IModel model = getProjectRepository().getModelByName("");
	if (model instanceof EmfModel) {
		EmfModel emfModel = (EmfModel) model;				
	}
} catch (EolModelNotFoundException e) { ... }

Hi Jörn,

emfModel.getResource() should do the trick (I've added a note about this in [1]).

Best,
Dimitris
