Hi all!
I'd like to know, how can I get localized feature descriptions in default EObjectValidator diagnistics?
For now, that's what I observe:
1. EObjectValidator uses SubstitutionLabelProvider to get feature label.
2. Diagnostician provides such an interface by itself, unfortunately delegating directly to eStructuralFeature.getName().
3. There is an existing method in org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.ItemProviderAdapter.getFeatureText(Object) which can get a nice feature description, but unfortunately it's not API.
Since org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.action.ValidateAction already uses .Edit framework to obtain a resource set, (and moreover, it creates it's own diagnostician), it would make sense to obtain some sort of an Adapter from it's AdapterFactory, to delegate to it to get a lozalized feature label?
For now, i did amost the same thing, except for obtaining IItemLabelProvider as an adapter, and using reflection to call to getFeatureLabel(), and it works.
I wonder,
a) if it's the best (easiest) method of doing it
b) should't such a capability being provided by framework? If so, i could provide a patch.

There's quite an old bugzilla about this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=309019
It would be nice for there to be API for it, so I'd be interested to see
your suggestion.
