I don't imagine you should be using Impl classes in your instanceof
tests. Why aren't you using the "Node" API for testing?

Note that when an object is removed from the tree, the adapter itself is
removed from that object and from all contained children of it. The
REMOVING_ADAPTER notification will occur for those.

Note also that notifications about deletion generally happen for the
containment feature of the parent not directly on the deleted object
itself (though the adapter is removed so you can detect that).

I'm not sure. Hopefully you're calling super in your overrides so that
the normal processing happens as well...

I'm not sure what happens in this combination of diagram model and
domain model...

Generally a notification is fired by an EObject whenever the value of
one of it's features changes...

Till,
Are you listening to just the diagram resource or also the resource
containing the model? I'm assuming they're in different resources, but
that might be a wrong assumption. It sounds like delete is cleaning up
the node, but I would have imagined you'd have seen a notification that
the node's element was being SET to null...

Till,
It seems clear you're listening to the diagram and likely not listening
to the underlying domain model at all. Yet probably what you're
interested in are the changes to the actual domain model regardless of
how the diagram might be rendering it or referring to it. I wonder what
kinds of notifications you'll see if you did
editor.getDiagram().getElement().eAdapters().add(adapter) instead...
