nice!

hm, could it be that the directory cleaner is configures for the wrong
directory?
What you might try is to set a breakpoint in
org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.DirectoryCleaner.invokeInternal(...) and
org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.DirectoryCleaner.checkConfigurationInternal(...)
Then launch the MWE2-Workflow via "Debug As...".

You'll have to subclass org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.ecore.EcoreGenerator and
override getTypeMapper(). getTypeMapper() returns an object that is
responsible for mapping EMF-names (e.g. FooBarImpl) to names of "custom"
classes (e.g. FooBarImplCustom). You can implement any mapping logic you
want. In your MWE2-Workflow, your subclass replaces the EcoreGenerator.

true ;) It's not generated by default because we assume that not every
class from an EMF model will have a Custom-Class. Therefore, generating
stubs for all classes would kinda pollute the project. You can have
custom classes generated when you set
EcoreGenerator { generateCustomClasses = true }
in your workflow.

Yes, there is one thing you should have in mind when overriding Methods:
Since EMF supports multiple inheritance and Java does not, not all
super-classes declared on the EMF side will be actual super-classes on
the Java-Class-Side (only on the Java-Interface side).
regards,
Moritz
