Hello everyone,

A question that I've been curious about for a while...

Given a plug-in with several packages, each package containing EMF annotated
model code, I have a choice in how to proceed with respect to generating the
code:

1) Build a single genmodel for the plug-in that governs all .ecore models
and provides a centralized point for all of the plug-ins code generation,

2) Build several genmodels, one for each package in the plug-in (one-to-one
association between genmodel and ecore model), or

3) Build a few genmodels that have some non-overlapping relationship with
the various ecore models.

In general, are there any advantages/disadvantages to having one vs.
multiple genmodels in a plug-in containing multiple packages with model
code? Any reason to choose one over the other?

Thanks for any insight on this,
-Pete

It seems better to have a single one per project, otherwise it's
possible they specify conflicting properties for stuff like the plugin ID.
