The UML Tools project has a graphical editor for UML. Does that do the
trick or is that off by one meta level?

Yes, I tend to think that heavy weight extensions of either UML or Ecore
are typically a bad idea. It's better to decorate/augment/profile the
unchanged base model.

I thought both the basic editor provided directly by the UML project and
the graphical editor from the UML tools project would let you create
profiled instances of UML, doesn't it?

I'm not sure, but I was under the impression that UML also supports a
profile for which there is an actual generated model.

I'm not familiar enough with GMF to know specifically what problem this
causes, but I would have imagined it wouldn't cause any major ones...

So it sounds like you are seeking to specialize the UML Tools
component's graphical editor to represent your additional profiled
information in a more graphical way. Is that right?
