Hi, All,

I am newbie with EMF. I read some introduction articles of EMF and did
some example practice step by step. However, I wonder if the EMF is only for
the structured data model, if the generated applications are all similar to
the model generator? I think EMF must be powerful than I thought. But I cant
imagine how to create a simple text editor like notepad with EMF. Can any
body give me some clue?

EMF is most appropriate for structured data and would not likely help
much for creating a simple text editor. But a simple text editor is
already built into Eclipse, so that's not so useful a task to take on.
The Sample XML Schema Editor is the only EMF-based editor we have that
makes use of the text editor. I wonder what you are trying to build?
