Storing xml commets in emf object [message #431642]

Hi ,
I have an xml editor , which helps the user to edit the textual
representation of my emf model. Then I load this EMF model to use for some
other views. But these views also can manipulate the model through GUI.
Users can type xml comments into text editor and save .But after that
when it's loaded thorough EMF for other views , I am loosing xml comments.
So I need to find a way to attach this xml comments to the EMF objects
without
altering ecore to have another field .

Anybody knows a solution ?

Thanks in advance .

Jijoy,

This has been asked before. Comments are just white space as far as EMF
is concerned while processing the XML. It can appear anywhere within
the element content... I suppose you could record in a map by
specializing the XMLHandler and save it by specializing XMLSaveImpl.
