If you want to generate Java from the Ecore file you have to add a
corresponding genmodel file. The generation works as usual.
Note that at runtime (in editor and in standalone mode) the
EPackage.Registry has to be filled before the parser looks up the meta
model the first time. If it's not in the registry the parser will load
the ecore file and use it dynamically.
If you just use Xtend and Xpand to access the meta model you don't need
to generate any java classes since under the hood those languages use
EMF's reflection layer any way.
labels and icons are provided by adding label(MyType) and icon(MyType)
extension to EditorExtensions.ext (in the editor plugin).
example:
label(State this) :
name;
icon(State this) :
"state.gif";
given that there is an image 'state.gif' within the icons/ folder.
