way to move some classes into it. My first try was to select the package
-> format -> order -> send to back. But the result was only visual.
Another try was to drag&drop the classes into the package but the result
was that in the package only references of the classes appeared and the
classes stayed in its old place. How is it possible?
What else is interesting for me is what is the purpose of packages in an
ecore model? I mean there is the SoC purpose. But what else? My aim is
to generate an editor. Is it possible to generate several editors? For
every package its own? And they must work on the same model i.e. on the
same file. It would be nice because than every gmf editor can have its
own graphical notations.

That makes me think that the EMFT newsgroup is more likely to give good
support on EcoreTools.

Technically it's possible to add subpackages to an EPackage but the cool
guys don't do it. Often it's better to factor out separate modules, i.e.
own model plugins.

This looks like an EcoreTools question and should be asked in the EMFT
newsgroup.

A pity that a (package) tree is not particularly well-suited for the
separation of multiple concern dimensions.

IIRC. editors are generated for models and not for single packages
therein. But I always recommend against generating model-specific
editors at all! IMHO model-specifics should be isolated in the generated
model plugin or in the generated edit plugin. Editors should be
UI-specific, if that's needed at all. If you compare any two generated
editors you'll notice that they really only differ in the registration
of package-specific ItemProviderAdapterFactories in the
initializeEditingDomain() method. With the following replacement of that
code you get a truely generic editor:
| ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry registry = EMFEditPlugin.getComposedAdapterFactoryDescriptorRegistry();
adapterFactory = *new *ComposedAdapterFactory(registry);
adapterFactory.addAdapterFactory(*new *ResourceItemProviderAdapterFactory());
adapterFactory.addAdapterFactory(*new *ReflectiveItemProviderAdapterFactory());|

Generally EMF Transaction or the CDO Model Repository offer
transactionality and multi user characteristics, although they do it
quite differently. It could make sense to ask the GMF newsgroup for more
infos on how they do it.

Thansk for your anser Eike,
I think I can arrange myself with the models-without-subpackages-issue.
Maybe I become a cool guy one day ;) But as I'm new on the EMF field,
modeling and so on I'll try learning from generating my editor for my
model. Therefore I want to investigate what properties can be made in
the genmodel. Is there a detailed overview of the possibilities of the
genmodel. I mean there are several options which can be made. I think I
need some explanations of those. Or a detailed tutorial would be nice.
Does anybody has some hints?
