Hello Emil,
The method eNotificationRequired returns false only because your object has
no listeners (adapters) therefore sending of notification is not reqired in
this case. Generally EMF models are subject for state of art optimization,
all possible java performace optimizations are done there, for example
notifications are not sent when it's not needed, or lists are created
lazily.
So, the classes inside the Edit plugin are extending EMFContentAdapter which
automatically attach itself to all objects that are accessible from starting
object via _containment_ relations. So first of all check that your relation
is containment, then check that you are adding your new object usual way,
i.e. by fetching the children collection and adding element to it, only in
this case EMFContentAdapter will know that collection was modified and will
attach itself to newly added object.
Also, it might be not a best idea to manipulate model objects directly, the
better way is to use Commands for that. The advantage of commands is that
your changes will be integrated with another user changes therefore will be
a subject of undo/redo actions and editor dirty indicator.

A ChangeCommand can be used to record the changes and make them undoable.

It seems to me if you are creating a new object, no one will know about
it until you attach it to some container object and that container
object, if it's being viewed somewhere, will already have an adapter
that will notify about the addition of the child.

From what you describe though, it seems to me that it's not possible
for any view to notice the created of "obj".

Normally adapters are added automatically as the objects are viewed,
i.e, as the label or content provider is asked to produce text of
children, but from what you've described I don't see how the new object
you created could affect any existing views...
