Hi!

Is JFace and EMF binding is possible?
I mean do we have special framework for this, or I should wait/use regular
JFace binding library?

I`ve heard that Gili and Joe created EMF-specific binders, and I was
suggested to ask here at "eclipse.tools.ve".

In the first iteration of this effort, we used EMF IUpdatables, to ensure that the framework does not makes many
assumption on the domain object. Given that JFace can not be dependent on EMF, these classes will not be available as
part of the binding framework.
We hope that the EMF project will provide this support.

The EMF code that we have is old, and does not work with the latest API, nor was it heavily tested.
