One Model editor with derived models [message #895940]

Hello,

I have a simple model which holds an interface.
I have certain models, which extends that interface.

Is there any possibility to generate one editor for editing the whole model?

EDIT:
One way is to edit the parent edit class and add the call to collectNewChildDescriptors, but it seems not to be the nice way.

It sounds like the approach in

might do the trick.

Hello,

I have replaced the EMap with a containment reference, but the child extender doesn't work any longer.

Could be the problem, that the EClass is abstract?

You regenerated the derived models?
