"EcoreEditPlugin.INSTANCE" sometimes appears in generated XXXEditPlugin.java [message #1809244]

Hello,

In the generated EditPlugin class (here for example (wich is by the way the same project than the one I attached here)), a wild "EcoreEditPlugin.INSTANCE" can appear or disappear when I regenerate my models. Not a problem, everything works, but it generates useless diff in my commits.

public InferenceEditPlugin()
{
	super (new ResourceLocator [] 
	{
		ActionEditPlugin.INSTANCE,
		EcoreEditPlugin.INSTANCE,
		TypesEditPlugin.INSTANCE,
	});
}

For now, I have no clues why it generates something different, and I don't see any specific pattern to produce one generation or one other.

Maybe somebody have more information about that?

If I recall correctly you have several *.xcore files in the same project, right? There are some classes such as the plugin that is a singleton for the project, i.e., you generally get one per GenModel. When you have multiple *.xcore files in a project each one will try to generate the edit plugin, each with potentially different results. It's really not a great approach to have more than one *.xcore resource in a project...

Ok, thank you.

Indeed, I don't really like to have big files of code, so I prefer to make many .xcore. I solve some issues with the annotation @GenModel(updateClasspath="false") to all .xcores except one.

So your advice would be to make ;ore projects, one per xcore?
