Here is the situation. In my ecore file, I have a type <foo> that has a
member of 0..* EString. In the GMF property viewer, all I see is a drop
box with an empty list of items to insert. Without changing the ecore,
is there a way to allow me to edit this property? Ideally, a user
should just be able to type in Strings they want to add to this list.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Boy, I hate to say this, but it took me months to figure a lot of this
stuff out. But then I'm kind of slow. :)
I think my general suggestion is that you will probably need to take a
step or two back and look at the EMF/ecore stuff and be prepared for
some rather deep reading -- I just don't think that GMF will make sense
to you until you have a handle on that. The issue at hand here is
wether the ecore model and generated code even supports what you want
to do. In this case I was suggesting that you take a look at the EMF
generate .editor code and see wehter _iot_ works as expected first.
YMMV, of course.

Yes, this should be properly supported in the generated EMF editor to
produce a dialog that lets you enter a series of string...

Right..to be clear I meant there is probably something up w/ the
..ecore, .genmodel, or gen'd code in question as this should
work..sorry, Mike, bottom line is that your expectation is correct but
that the develi is in the details..

Michael,
You can look in
org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.PropertyDescriptor.createPr opertyEditor
to see how it uses ExtendedDialogCellEditor in combination with
FeatureEditorDialog.
