Hi,
I've been using EMF for sometime now, and it's great. In particular, it
is very helpful to have the generated EMF editor to directly examine data
structures. However, this has always required that I first open an EMF
instance/resource with the EMF editor first.
Now I really need to have pure runtime software which simply creates and
uses EMF objects/structures. No problem: just use
XxxxxFactory.eINSTANCE.createYyyy().
HOWEVER, it would REALLY be helpful to be able to examine and possibly
modify such object structure using the generated EMF editor and/or Outline
View and properties page but without going through the steps of using the
editor UI to open a file, etc... The goal is not to have a file and
possibly not a resource involved.
Can someone suggest a, preferable simple, tactic to programmatically open
the Editor or Outline View and properties page on an existing in-memory
EMF generated object structure?
Thanks in advance.
Steve

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,
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.
