Joel,

UML itself has not been regenerated to be extensible, so trying to take
advantage of this won't really help. I wonder if they will consider
doing so?

It seems I got the guard on the extension point completely backwards.
:-( I don't know how that slipped through. I guess because the
plugin.xml isn't regenerated. Please open a bugzilla so I can fix it
for next week's build.

Note that you have to enable this support via options on the
GenPackage. The base needs to be extensible and the derived needs to be
an extender...

Hi Ed,

Yes indeed that sounds really cool. Joel, perhaps you could raise a defect
on the UML2 project to regenerate to be extensible and it will be looked
into.

Cheers,
- James.

James,

Kenn says he already did it. I should have checked. That means Joel is
good to go except he needs to check the GenPackage flag to generate the
class (and since the plugin.xml already has the registration, he won't
notice my stupid bug).

Actually, UML2 has been regenerated to be extensible, so you should be good
to go already (e.g. with UML2 M5).

Hi, Ed,

From time to time, EMF makes enhancements that require clients like UML to
regenerate their models in order for them actually to be effective.

Can these kinds of changes be communicated in the EMF New & Noteworthy?
They might even be announced on the emf-dev mailing list. I'm not sure
that everybody follows your blog, which is a personal thing and probably
not generally considered to be an extension of the EMF documentation. :-)

Cheers,

Christian
