Steve,
If you look at the generated wizard, it shows how the editor opened when
the wizard completes.

Ed:
Thanks for the reply.
Can you be a bit more specific. I've attempted modifying
XxxEdit.initializeEditingDomain() and creating a custom
AdapterFactoryEditingDomain class but with unsatisfactory results. Where
exactly should I look in the "generated wizard?"
Thanks
Steve

Steve,
Yes, it's certainly possible, but you'll need to add special case
handing with the editor to deal with your type of editor input.
