Have been able to deal with EAttributes 0..1 using text and combo
widgets. But still need to:
1. visualize and bind features that are EReferences (0..1 and 0..N)?
2. and to duplicate the functionality that the Property View provides
by displaying EMF validation error messages in the Workbench status line.
Are there any snippets or Examples that demonstrates these?
thanks,
John

Hope so. So far, I am fairly encouraged by how well the view looks
based on what you have done in your patch and the hacks I have added to
visualize this in a master-detail view that uses the GenModel Property
Categories as labeled Widget Groups and Property Descriptions as tool
tips on the detail side. With a little more work it may even prove an
acceptable replacement for our Properties View.

thanks for the reminder.

Hi Tom,
Here is the url to Ed's patch.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=82033
While I am not using the patched class, I have taken some ideas from it
to get to the point I am at. Again - I am leveraging the genmodel
decorated Edit attributes like description, categories, and filter flags
to add more visual coherence to the form.
As it turned out I began this attempt two months ago and promptly paged
out all knowledge of databinding since then:( So now I will review to
recover lost ground, refactor so it is more applicable to generic emf
usage and then try to advance the solution farther.
Alternatively if someone has already created a generic form to replace
the Properties view for EMF, I will defer to that effort, if not, I
would like to move what I have forward and contribute it back to the
community.
cheers,
John
