Hi,
Well the compat-layer is translating everything coming in through
extension points (views,editors,menus,...) into the our application
model but not only those things - those done programmatically e.g. in
the ActionBarAdvisor, Perspective-Factories are translated into our
EMF-Model. Looking at the LegacyIDE.e4xmi is less interesting because
the above translation is happing at runtime.
I'm myself not really familiar with the inner workings of the
compat-layer so I can't give you more detailed informations :-)
If you are interested in what all those things result into and you have
the E4 Tooling installed you can hit: ALT+SHIFT+F9 and a dialog will
popup showing you the complete workbench model making up your currently
running IDE (you can even make modifications and/or observe how the
model changes when you work with the Eclipse 4.0 Workbench).

Hi Chris,
That sounds good. Please note that there are probably still things
missing because the main focus for 4.0 was to have the SDK (JDT/PDE)
running so there might be missing things for RCP-Applications.

Hi Tom,
Ok for the limitations. My application is tiny so I don't think it will be a problem... I hope !
I have a little question about how works this compatibility layer. I am a bit curious ! Does this layer scan contributions and update EMF model according to ? Does the compatibilty is an adpater between old mechanism based on contributions and new mechanism based on EMF model ?
I had a look at LegacyIDE.e4xmi but I didn't really understand...
Thank you.
Chris.
