How to add bean to model?
When user drops any component from pallete, my program must create special
component and add it to model. For creating that component I use function:

private IJavaInstance createIImageGroupObject() {
IJavaInstance im =BeanUtilities.createJavaObject(
"com.dob.components.CImageGroup",
JavaEditDomainHelper.getResourceSet(fEditDomain),
"new com.dob.components.CImageGroup()"
);
return im;
}

How can I add this IJavaInstance to model?
Help me please.

It is complicated. How do you intend to reference this object? Is it a
parameter on the constructor of the component being dropped, and do you
expect only one for the whole application, or one per component?

Please give me an example of how the generated code for you CImageGroup
is used? The answer to this will determine how to do it.

Hi, Rich!

In my application are many objects of type CImage. CImage objects not
drops from pallete, it creates as property of other objects in property
editor and do not shown on the GraphicalEditPart. But in the TreeEditPart
that components adds to the root. It is not well, because lot of CImage
objects makes TreeEditPart not readable.
СImageGroup will be single object for application. Before creating
new CImage object programm will check of existence СImageGroup,
create it if СImageGroup yet not created, and after that, create
CImage and add to the СImageGroup.

So, I have two questions:
1) How create and append to the root СImageGroup object from
property editor of other object?
2) How append new CImage object to the CImageGroup (CImageGroup is awt
container) after it created in property editor?

Thanks,
Alexey Yudin

Could you please give me an example of what you expect the generated
code to look like for this? That will help to determine what it should
look like in the model.
