Just talked to Sanjiv - he said that the reason he stubbed out EditorPart
was...laziness! (OK - just kidding!)
He did it because we had a file that was serialized from our GEF-based
editor and as we went to stream it back into a stand-alone application it
was trying to regenerate its object model. Instead of fixing our
serializing to eliminate the references it was quicker and easier (we're in
prototype mode anyway) to just create a stubbed out base class that is used
only in the standalone application. That way we can use exactly the same
file and load it into either the Editor or the run-time app.
Sanjiv promises that when (if?) we make it to production he'll do it the
'right' way.
