Hi,
Here is a question from a newby on GMF. First, thanks to the
contributors, for an amazing tool.
I followed the tutorial with good success, and it seems my applications
is creating itself in front of me. Now of course there are always
special requirements, and here is mine:
What I would like to do is generate tool commands, based on what is
already in my model. So for example if I have a domain model "cars", I
would like to auto-generate tools for "Create mazda" and "Create BMW",
if instances of these cars exist.
One way to do this (thinking out loud) , is to generate the tools
commands, when opening the model. Is there something in the framework to
avoid custom code?
Thank you, Christophe Bouhier

Hi Alex,
On the topic below discussed earlier.
I want to add some data in a Tool, which can be passed along when the
semantic model element is created. (In a EditorHelper).
As a tool, is initially defined as a UnspecifiedTypeCreationTool(),
I wonder if somehow, I can set and pickup this data set in a ToolEntry,
in a Edit Helper.
So:
MyCustomPaletteFactory -> ToolEntry -> ? -> xEditHelper -> myData?
(myData)
Thank You, Christophe

Hi,
I solved my problem, by extending the UnspecifiedTypeCreationTool class
and storing a parameter in the ExtendedData of the Request.
I can then pickup my parameter, using req.getParameters().
