Hello,

I want exactly the same concepts like ENamedElement and EModelElement in
my own model (e.g. my elements should be also annotatable).

Is it a good idea to inherit directly from the ecore elements or is it
better to model (exactly the same) for my own?

Kind regards,
Bernd

Bernd,

No, it's not a good idea to inherit from Ecore. We don't guarantee
binary compatibly for the implementation classes and we don't promise
not to add methods in the future.
