How can I include custom controls in Application.e4xmi? [message #1281861]

I modeled a part following vogella's tutorial at http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4ExtendModel/article.html and now I want to include it in my Application.e4xmi. However the tutorial stops at "Note down the uri from the extension point. You need later to define this in your Application.e4xmi."

How do I actually "define this in my Application.e4xmi"? I found a Russian site here: http://ru.tmsoftstudio.com/file/page/Eclipse4/e4_ch7_rasshirenie-modeli-prilozheniya.html but all changes they describe there I do to my Application.e4xmi are reverted whenever I switch to the tree view again.

Currently, I just create a new Part and point the Class URI to the concrete Implementation class EMF generates using vogella's approach.

Is this currently correct or is there another bit I still have to do?

You'd have to extend the Application.e4xmi editor because it does not really know how to edit your new model element. I've done it here: https://github.com/semanticsoft/vaaclipse-tools/commit/91d08ecda89be017c7e7d6438a2d02dd25706e4c
