That's a little different question. EMF's implementation classes must
extends a subclass of BasicEObjectImpl (in order to implementation
EObject and InternalEObject). So they can't extend some other class
like PlatformObject. YOu can however define an EClass to wrap an
existing interface, like IAdaptable, but setting the instance type name
of the fully qualified name of the interface and marking it as interface
true. You can then use that in the eSuperTypes of any other EClass and
implement the methods needed in the generated implementation classes.
(You could even define the EOperations of the wrapped interface in the
wrapper EClass so that stubs are generated.)

More clear now.
