Creating an Instance on ModelPackage; Extension Point [message #431660]

Hi,

I defined an Extension Point which I would like to use for EPackage
(attribute "class"). I think the EP is ok. But if I want to create an
instance of an EPackage, in this case ModelPackage, using this statement

Object o = e.createExecutableExtension("class");

the following Exception appears

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in "org.xxx.yyy.model" was
unable to instantiate class "org.xxx.yyy.model.impl.ModelPackageImpl".

The class ModelPackageImpl is a EPackageIml and is generated by EMF.

I used this EP for other classes, for example EFactory, and it works. But
I can not instanciate EPackage.

Can somebody please tell me what is the problem? Or am I doing something
wrong?

Thank you very much,

RCH

Why don't you use the global EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE? Generated
packages are automatically contributed to this registry in a lazy manner.

Cheers

Thank you very much.
I tried using the registered instance and it works.
