EModelElement and EObject [message #78252]

Hi,
I am studying the notation.ecore model for persisting it in a rdb. I have two questions about the
model related to inheritance from the ecore model itself:
- Why do ShapeStyle and ConnectorStyle inherit from EObject?
- Also for View why does it inherit from EModelElement?

This inheritance structure can mean that I also need to be able to persist ecore models itself
(which is possible but requires some more attention).

I tried to search the newsgroup related to this topic but couldn't find anything (maybe did not
search good enough).

Thanks!

Hi ;
Views extend EModelElement, because they can be annotated (you can
annotated them with EAnnotations). Styles do not need annotations (since
you can consider styles as annotations) that is why they extend EObject
