Hi!,

i was just going through the generated PackageImpl and i noticed that
there is a createResource(URI) method that we can override in it. Why have
it here too when we also have the xxxResourceFactory class generated in
the util package ?

I think that the createXYZ() methods are inherited from the package
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EPackageImpl class. SO, in turn my question is
why have create methods in the generate PackageClass.

cheers,
Chetan Kumar

There is a call to that method which is implemented in EPackageImpl

They're not related. A generated EPackage also lives in an Resource so
that you can serialize references to the Ecore model. But that has
nothing to do with the type of resource in which your instances are stored.

Yes.

There isn't a generated one. There's only a call to a utility method to
create resource for the Ecore model. Typically the only reason to
override it would be to use something other than the EPackage's nsURI as
the Resource's URI, and you'd typically do that only if you want to
serialize an xsi:schemaLocation attribute in your instances (which also
requires using OPTION_SCHEMA_LOCATION when saving the instance).

we can also override the create resource in xxxResourceImpl and pass a URI
of my own if i don't want to use the generated URI. Would that give me
same result ?
