objects in the model and the .editor classes do this just fine. However,
what I would really like to do is use this functionality inside of an
existing JAVA application, rather than as an Eclipse plugin. This is my
first exposure to EMF, SWT, etc. so I really do not know what is possible.
All the articles I can find seem more directed to plugin development
rather than stand-alone application development. Is what I am looking for
possible with this framework, and if so, what can I read to get pointed in
the right direction?

Jeff,
There are earlier threads originated by Scott Dybiec (10/16/2002 and
10/31/2002) discussing standalone execution. I think that the information you
need is in those threads.
It is possible to use the generated models and the generated edit support
outside of Eclipse, but I think that the generated editor needs to live in an
Eclipse Workbench. It is also possible to use SWT and many of the Eclipse UI
components, such as the viewers, separate from the Eclipse Workbench. I'm
not sure where to find out more about that...

Jeff,
As further support of Ed's response... we are using EMF and the core
Eclipse platform within our application. We are using both pieces headless
(without the Eclipse UIs). All of that seems to be working rather well.
Not sure what you'll have to do to include the Eclipse Editors, but I'm sure
it'll simply involve including more plugins within your application.
thanks,
Lance Phillips
