Hi, I have several (semi) independent models where all my EClasses are
extension of a common ancestor I use for graphic rendering.

Currently this ancestor is duplicated in all models, but that is a
nuisance because I have to adapt my rendering engine and a real PITA
when I have to use multiple models in the same application.

Is there some way to convince EMF to derive its EClasses from an
"external" common ancestor?
Note the ancestor should be part of model itself (i.e.: attributes
contained in it should be part of model), so overriding EClass itself
(if such a thing is at all possible) would not work (I think).

You can put the reusable EClass it its own model (EPackage) and have all
the other models refer to it in their eSuperTypes...
