Jface databinding for extended ecore models [solved] [message #1650011]

Hello,

I have got two ecore models:
- A
- B (extended from A)

For jface viewers, there is a great way to get automatic databinding from the model
to the viewer by using a content provider which extends AdapterFactoryContentProvider.

This works great for my ecore model A.
But I cannot get it to work for my model B. If I use the ItemProviderAdapterFactory
from model A, any change to the extended fields in B is not recognized. If I use the
ItemProviderAdapterFactory from model B, the content is incomplete.

Is there any way to get jface databinding to work for extended ecore models?

Alexander,

Are you creating the underlying adapter factory using new
ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE)?
This should automatically find the model-specific item provider adapter
factory for A and B.
