Hi all,

I found this (old) article:
http://ed-merks.blogspot.de/2008/01/creating-children-you-didnt-know.html
....and that's what I am looking for. Unfortunately I didn't get it to
work - even not after re-creaing plugin.xml as suggested in the comments.

Does anbyone use such a concept and can point me to a (working) example,
please?

Morten,

A great many people have gotten this to work well, even recently. Notice
it's the plugin.xml for both *.edit projects that needs to be regenerated...

Dammed, that was it.

BTW: This is something I stumple upon over and over again: When you
create sources into the same project that come out of more than one
Ecore model the plugin.xml, manifest.mf and other resource files are not
being updated (i.e. also not the extension points). It seems only the
first generated model "wins", the others you have to do by hand. Is
there (maybe) a more conveneient way of having those files updated all
the time?

Morten,

If only I would support merging for these resources. So much to do and
so few people to do it...

If you have multiple models targeting the same bundles, you should still
keep one GenModel for all of them.
