Hello Daniel,

Yes, it should. This is current implementation of TransactionalEditingDomainImpl.FactoryImpl.createEditingDoma in()
method (will be executed on calling TransactionalEditingDomain.Factory.INSTANCE.createEditingDom ain()):

public synchronized TransactionalEditingDomain createEditingDomain() {
TransactionalEditingDomain result = new TransactionalEditingDomainImpl(new
ComposedAdapterFactory(ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Reg istry.INSTANCE));
mapResourceSet(result);
return result;
}

So, as you can see, newly created ComposedAdapterFactory will be actually
passed into TransactionalEditingDomainImpl constructor. This ComposedAdapterFactory
will be composed of all the AdapterFactories registered using “org.eclipse.emf.edit.itemProviderAdapterFactories”
ension-point.

In other words, answering your question, created TransactionalEditingDomainImpl
instance will make use of EMF-generated ItemProviders from EMF .edit plugin
indirectly because appropriate AdapterFactory will be registered in EMF-generated
..edit plugin using “org.eclipse.emf.edit.itemProviderAdapterFactories” extension-point.

Here is a javadoc for ComposedAdapterFactory.Descriptor.Registry.INSTANCE:
/**
* The global registry typically populated by plugin registration.
*/

This is my understanding of the situation. And, yes, all the code around
“ComposedAdapterFactory” is useless with TransactionalEditingDomain + you
can file a bugzilla request to create another factory method for TransactionalEditingDomain
like:
TransactionalEditingDomain.Factory.INSTANCE.createEditingDom ain(AdapterFactory
factory)
