Peter,
I think it's absolutely necessary to use a Resource for serialization
because all the persistence logic is concentrated there.
If you can't afford to change the object during this process you could
try to copy it and add that copy to the resource.
I'm not so used to the copy utilities like EcoreUtil.copy(). You'll have
to ensure that you don't copy too much (e.g. deep copy)...
Cheers

Peter,
This option is likely to serve your purpose as well:
/**
* Write only the subtree starting at the specified list of EObjects,
* which must be objects contained by the resource.
*/
String OPTION_ROOT_OBJECTS = "ROOT_OBJECTS";
