Listening for EObject creation [message #629476]

I writing an OSGI bundle which injects behaviour into EObjects by
decorating them at runtime with an Adapter.

All the EObjects have been created in different OSGI bundles using the
Factory createXXX() method. I want to avoid cross dependencies between the
bundle creating the objects and the bundle decorating the objects. Would
it be useful to be able to register a notification listener to the Factory
and listen for the creation of EObjects?

Robert,

I've always been averse to this because I see it as an open invitation
to poison the communal fountain of objects. You can't know all the
different clients that are using a given factory nor assume that they
want their objects polluted and observed by arbitrary things injected by
other clients. For what you describe, it seems that demand created
adapters would suffice.
