That explains it.

Yep, it would make me nervous. I'm not sure why you can't just
specialize your own derived ResourceSetImpl.

That would be quite a few!

I guess because the objects are all a huge list in resource.getContents().

And Java only lets you have about 1.5G max for the heap. It's not very
scalable. :-P

It's not the size of the database I suppose, but rather the height of
the tables in it. Does Hibernate address these kinds of issues?

I would imagine that most applications have complete control over what
resource set is used, so I'm still not sure why providing an alternative
resource set implementation wouldn't suffice.

It does, but it also seems to me that JPA/JDO/Hibernate would all suffer
from these same fundamental problems so I'm curious how they deal with
it. Do they somehow produce a query that returns a much smaller set of
the objects you're actually likely to use? I'll add the EMFT newsgroup
to the reply so Martin is more likely to see this and comment.
